BTS Monday House!
Every Monday we open up space for young adults (18-24) to just pull up as they are.

BTS Monday House is a drop-in space for:
• 1:1 support
• Creative expression (art, collage, music, etc.)
• Real conversations + community
• Resource connection + next steps

No pressure. No expectations. Just a space to breathe, create, and get support if you need it.

Our BTS Team is on the ground!
If you’ve been looking for a place to tap in, this is it.

📅Every Monday

One year ago, we decided that “survival” was not enough.

Today, Break The System Project marks one year of showing up for system impacted young men across Chicago’s South and Northwest sides.

269 young adults.
25 households.

Not statistics but lives. Conversations. Breakthroughs. Second chances.

Year One taught us how to build.
Year Two will continue to challenge systems.

From local outreach to national leadership spaces like the Youth Advisory Council with National Network for Youth and with support from partners like The Pollination Project this mission continues to grow.

We’re not just celebrating a year.

We’re celebrating what happens when young people are given access, dignity, and opportunity.

Year Two starts now🧡

Young men in our city deserve dignity not just survival.

BTS Project is collecting hygiene items for young men (18-24) experiencing homelessness on Chicago's South Side.

Every body wash. Every toothbrush. Every kit matters.
Drop-off near 65th & Western
Collecting through February 28, 2026

Chicago this cold is no joke 🥶
An arctic blast is on the way, and safety comes first.

Warming centers are open across the city for anyone needing shelter from the cold. You can find locations above or call 3-1-1 for the nearest available site.

Please share this post, check in on folks outside, and take care of yourself and each other.
