We also partner with local schools by providing training and support for Social-Emotional Learning and Character Education.  This includes things such as deploying a well-trained team of mentors or tutors for after-school programming, collaborating with local school Principals to selectively enroll some of their most challenging students in our mentoring and tutoring programs that teach students Social-Emotional Learning, Character Development and superior academic skills.  We also provide workshops, classes and training for students on thing like anti-bullying, the dangers of substance abuse, parenting education for parents, guardians and family members of students as it pertains directly to school climate and culture, etc.  As a new organization, we are continually exploring and development new effective and innovative ways to augment, support and partner with local schools here in Chicago.
