Services to Youth

The Services to Youth facet uses an integrated approach to prepare young people to succeed as healthy citizens in the global workforce and to promote healthy lifestyles within families and communities.  We implement transformational programs that are responsive to the academic, health, cultural, social awareness, career development, and mentoring needs of youth.

  The primary goals of this facet are to:

• Close the achievement gap from pre-K through college, with the intent of preparing our youth for the global workforce as healthy citizens
• Develop training modules for local pre-K through college mentoring programs, to ascertain a high level of support for youth in our communities
• Expand and support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education
• Promote and support historically black colleges and universities for ensured sustainability

The Hoffman Estates (IL) Chapter Services to Youth Facet empowers youth and their families through mentorship, career exploration workshops, providing scholarships, increasing awarness and access to HBCUs, and providing recourses to eliminate barriers to youth success.
