Congratulations to Darineice Davis, daughter of our CEO, Sunny Davis-Nicholson, and Board Chairman, Dr. Noah Nicholson, on becoming dual-bar licensed in Illinois & Indiana! 🎉⚖️ Currently a practicing attorney, Darineice is already making an impact in the legal field.

This summer, she joins The ARK Entrepreneurial Center as a Pathways to Careers Mentor, helping youth navigate high school, college, scholarships, and career success. A proud example of what’s possible, Darineice completed both her undergraduate and graduate education without student loan debt by utilizing City of Chicago programs.

We are ARK proud of you, Darineice! 💙🚀

At The ARK, our Boss Babies learn entrepreneurship through play. That’s why when you see them at our annual Youth Boss Expo, they interact with customers, handle transactions, and carry conversations so naturally—because they’ve been learning these skills in a fun, repeated, hands-on way.

Our Mini Bosses and Big Bosses go through more intensive training, but for our youngest entrepreneurs, this playful approach makes learning how to lead a company exciting, enjoyable, and age-appropriate. ❤️

On Friday, The ARK Entrepreneurial Center received a letter of tentative approval for funding through the Illinois State Board of Education!

This is more than funding — it’s expanded opportunity.

It means we can grow our programs, reach more youth, and create new pathways for impact in our community. We remain committed to developing tomorrow’s leaders through entrepreneurial education and mentorship.

We’re just getting started. 🚀

They say kids hate school lunch…

At The ARK, we see something different.

When food is prepared with love, served with care, and given by people who truly care about them, it’s not “just lunch.” It’s nourishment. It’s dignity. It’s community. It’s honor.

Our youth don’t just eat here.
They feel seen.
They feel valued.
They feel at home.

Love changes everything…even lunch. 💛

Thank you to our partners Greater Chicago Food Depository for helping us feed the future something nutritious each day!
