ABOUT CHICAGO ANGELS

Chicago Angels is a local chapter of a national nonprofit called National Angels. Our mission is to walk alongside children, youth, and families experiencing foster care by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.

Through out two core programs, we match dedicated volunteers with families and youth in the local foster care community to offer consistent practical and emotional support.

Our Love Box program is an opportunity to team up with the other dedicated volunteers and create a pathway of hope for children in the foster care system. Volunteers meet practical, everyday needs, as well as build intentional relationships with the family they walk alongside.

Our Dare to Dream Program is one-on-one mentorship program for aged-out or at-risk to age-out youth experiencing foster care (ages ranging from 11-22 years). Our mentors are advocates, role models, valued friends, available resources, cheerleaders, and career enthusiasts.
