STRUT X10: Strutting in our Territory

Celebrating a decade of youth-led design, empowerment, and community transformation.

Join Territory NFP as we launch our 10th Anniversary campaign.

You’re invited to join us as we “Strut in our Territory” moving through the spaces we’ve designed, shaped, and made more just—on our terms. For the last decade, Chicago youth have taken back the narrative—not with protest signs alone, but with renderings, street furniture, park upgrades, bus stop redesigns, and public art that says: We live here. We matter. We build.

For our 10th anniversary, we are showing off and reclaiming our community. From Albany Park to Austin, Chicago youth have bene creating spaces that welcome all in our communities. Your donations during our campaign year will help us to continue this work.

Follow us for the journey as we STRUT, celebrating our progress and showing up in community, while reflecting on 10 years of progress- changing the way Chicagoans see and experience their beloved spaces.
