Handcrafted for a purpose.
Original jewelry made by teen girls in our paid job training program on the west side and southwest side of Chicago
Alongside jewelry-making, the youth learn the spiritual inspiration behind each piece, leadership skills & business knowledge. These lessons guide them toward brighter futures in the community.
We are one of many programs of New Life Centers of Chicagoland NFP, learn more here.
Our Journey thus far….
Arise Creations was founded on the belief that beauty exists in broken things. Watch to hear about the impact from our youth, how we got started and how you can support.
Urban Hope
Our signature piece & the idea that got our program started. Made using shattered glass from bus stop shelters that have been destroyed by gun violence throughout Chicago. It represents God’s restorative and transformative work in broken situations.
“And the God of all grace, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast” -1 Peter 5:10
