Sidekicks & Stoolz is the community. Conception Chicago is the work that flows from it.
A family-centered nonprofit rooted on Chicago's West Side — designing programs, spaces, and experiences that help people discover identity and purpose. We transform stories of struggle into pathways toward purpose and influence through creativity, community, and culture.
Our experiences
caves to crowns
01
An 8–12 week small group journey from isolation to identity, from the cave season to the crown. Transformation through proximity and relationship, not formal program. For the hidden leader who hasn't been seen yet.
womb to wisdom
02
An ongoing support community for women navigating the transition to motherhood. Informed, dignified, and deeply relational. Led by women who understand both the medical and the spiritual dimensions of this season.
Before we were us
03
A 6-week journey into healthy relationships rooted in self-awareness. You can't build a life with someone else until you know who you are first. Not a marriage program — an identity program that prepares people to love well.
rhythm & Reels
04
Identity exploration through music, film, and creative expression. Creativity is not decoration for the mission — it is the mission. For the young person who thinks differently and needs a space that honors that.
