Credell “Coach Pete” Kitchen to Headline National Youth Empowerment Event Focused on Passion, Purpose, and Potential

Bridgeview, IL — December 13, 2025

National youth speaker and motivator Credell “Coach Pete” Kitchen will deliver the opening keynote at The 3P Youth Experience, a centerpiece of A Youth Empowerment Day hosted by The Lights On Collective at Nikos Banquets in Bridgeview, Illinois.

The event will bring together hundreds of students, educators, and community leaders from across the Midwest for a powerful day centered on Passion, Purpose, and Potential. Participants will explore how to channel their stories into strength, connect with mentors, and develop a growth mindset that lasts beyond the classroom.

Coach Pete’s opening message, “You Have the Power,” will set the tone for a day of transformation. Through his signature energy and authenticity, he’ll challenge youth to embrace responsibility, purpose, and leadership — turning self-doubt into self-discipline.

“When you bring young people into a space that honors their voice, their culture, and their potential,” said Kitchen, “you don’t just change a day — you change the direction of a life.”

Hosted by The Lights On Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, A Youth Empowerment Day serves as a collaborative model for youth development and social-emotional growth. Students will participate in workshops, live performances, and leadership activities — all designed to help them become 3P Certified in Passion, Purpose, and Potential.
