Mission Statement
The ARK is a community youth center located on the St. Sabina campus. It was created to nurture and develop the gifts, skills, and spirit of community youth by providing a safe supportive environment in which youth can prosper and excel. The center was named 'The ARK" to symbolize Rev. Michael L. Pfleger's intent for it to be a safe haven for youth to escape from the storms of the world and prepare for a better life.
Description

From education to employment the ARK offers a vast array of opportunities and programs for youth ages 6 - 18. The comprehensive holistic philosophy is designed to inspire self esteem, resourcefulness, vision, morality, and concern for others-life skills that enable youth to grow and prosper in life and become productive members of society.
