Lawyers Lend-a-Hand to Youth

The organization "Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth" is a perfect example of how professionals can rally support and leadership for tutoring and mentoring among a network of colleagues. Founded in 1995 by the Chicago Bar Foundation and the Chicago Bar Association, the group's overall goal is to support one-to-one tutor/mentor programs serving young people in disadvantaged Chicago area communities by providing the guidance and support they need to both succeed in school and reach their full potential as an independent, productive adult.

How do they accomplish this? They invite attorneys to volunteer their time as mentors, tutors, or Board Members throughout Chicagoland. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, the Foundation awards dozens of grants, annually, to deserving grassroots mentoring programs. Over the years, the grants have totaled in excess of $660,000. The following map displays tutor/mentor programs that are currently connected to the Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth program.
