Aspira Inc. of Illinois is a not-for-profit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, operating in the primary and secondary education space to advance self-determination for Latino and other underserved youth through education, leadership development, and cultural awareness. Founded in 1968 as a 501(c)(3) entity in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, it was established to address high dropout rates in the Hispanic community. The organization pursues a holistic, family-centered approach that coordinates with schools, higher education institutions, health care providers, social service agencies, and government entities to support students and families. Throughout its history, ASPIRA has served more than 60,000 families. In early 2026, the organization disclosed a workforce reduction of 57 employees after filing a WARN notice.
