About Bright Endeavors

Bright Endeavors is a nonprofit social enterprise providing paid job training for young moms in Chicago. Join us to #LightTheWay toward strong families and bright futures! Artfully hand-poured by the young moms in our paid job training program, each Bright Endeavors candle is a symbol of the love, grit, and possibility our participants pour into their work. As a social enterprise of the Chicago nonprofit New Moms, Bright Endeavors engages young moms in our paid job training program where they learn comprehensive skills, gain confidence, and forge career paths, all while learning what is required to power a small business for our growing brand of artisanal scented candles. Every dollar we earn supports New Moms’ nonprofit programs providing housing, job training, academic coaching, and family support for young moms facing barriers caused by systemic poverty. Our retail partners are an essential component of this model and we invite you to join us as we partner with incredible moms as they embark on their parenting and career journeys. #LightTheWay Read their story
