This summer, the @unit4schools Youth Employment Services (YES) program helped bring a new sculpture to life that is now proudly installed at the intersection of University Ave. and Neil St in Downtown Champaign.

With a generous donation from Chet and Dianne Fall and through a powerful collaboration between @city.of.champaign , @40north , @champaignparkdist , local artist Greg Stallmeyer,  Centennial High School welding instructor Chris Storm, and 13 talented YES students, the sculpture INFINITE POSSIBILITIES now stands as a symbol of creativity, growth, and community connection.

"The sculpture is entitled INFINITE POSSIBILITIES. You can see the work is a series of steel cubes nested within one another, each positioned at its own unique angle. Beginning small at the center with a small red cube that represents the heart, and expanding outward. The cubes represent both individual development and our interconnected journey through life. While each cube maintains its own distinct orientation, symbolizing personal identity and individual paths, they remain fundamentally connected, impossible to separate one from another. The 'infinite possibilities' we each carry aren’t diminished by connection. They’re amplified by it. They also suggest how our futures expand when we build on foundations of community and collaboration." - Mandy Danowitz

The YES program supported over 200 Unit 4 students, helping them develop work ethic, creativity, collaboration, and purpose JUST this summer! 

Next time you’re downtown, stop by and experience INFINITE POSSIBILITIES for yourself. ♾️
@urbana116  teachers and warmed up the halls last week, and now the students are back filling the buildings with energy!

Unit 4 came out STRONG at this week's convocation! Cheerleaders and football players bringing the hype, and each building represented by their teachers and staff, and administrators ready for a powerful year. 

Today is the first day of school, and we’re sending all our energy to the @unit4schools  Family across Champaign!
