City-Wide Breakfast Panel

Across Chicago, many youth face conditions in their communities and within their families that pose obstacles to achieving academic, career and personal success. The intervention of a trusted adult mentor can provide young people with the support and guidance to overcome these obstacles, and Chicago is fortunate to have a number of quality mentoring programs that fill this crucial need.

Please join us for a breakfast discussion addressing this important issue, and how Chicago’s business and civic communities can and should be involved. Tickets are $25:

Featuring a panel discussion with:
Margie Morris, executive director, Illinois Mentoring Partnership
Glenn Wilke, executive director, Midtown Educational Foundation
