At Chicago Youth Opportunities Initiative, we believe that everyone needs someone to help guide and lead them, which is why we have a Mentoring Program in addition to our Youth Development program. Our Youth Development and Mentoring Programs work hand-in-hand. 

 

Proper mentorship plays a vital role in the development of youth. The role of the mentor within Chicago Youth Opportunities Initiative  is to attend the monthly youth development sessions and to build a strong relationship with their mentee. As an organization, we look to the mentors to be committed to the growth of the students in the program.
