“Off the Grid” : Action Camp Fundraiser

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Action Camp Fundraiser: Off the Grid at Sidetrack on Saturday, May 9th!

It was incredible to see our community come together in support of LGBTQ+ youth for an afternoon filled with drag performances, alumni talent, raffle prizes, laughter, camp snacks, and so much joy.

Action Camp is a 5-day sleepaway camp that brings together LGBTQ+ young leaders from across Illinois to build community, grow as leaders, and help shape safer schools for all. Because of your generosity, campers are able to experience a space where they feel safe, affirmed, connected, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, performed, volunteered, and helped spread the word. Your support truly makes this experience possible.

Be sure to follow us on social media (Youth Services) and (PHIMC). Keep an eye out for the Action Camp Wishlist launching on Monday, June, 1, 2026.

If you would still like to support Action Camp, donations can be made here.

With gratitude,
Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook & Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago (PHIMC)
