    Description

    Chicago Angels Mentor for Youth in Foster Care

    ​​The heart of the Dare to Dream program is to walk alongside youth as they navigate through life's challenges. The youth in our Dare to Dream program need the wisdom, advice, encouragement, and community that mentors can provide. Mentors meet practical and emotional needs as well as provide guidance through developmental milestones. The goal is for youth to be engaged and to feel supported and equipped to navigate life. Mentors must be 22 years old. We are looking for mentors throughout Cook County specifically the city as well as Wheeling at this time.
