School Based Mentoring is an international volunteer phenomenon that has helped thousands of students across the world. School Based Mentors are top students and professionals that dedicate an "hour to empower" the youth by providing  one-on-one homework support to struggling CPS students while also engaging them in academic enrichment activites one day per week for a full school year!

The goal of the program is to help improve grades & attendance, build self-confidence, and exposure to different cultural& academically enriching activities.  What are the results? Students that are matched to a School Based mentor are…Ø      52% less likely to skip schoolØ      37% less likely to skip a class Ø      More confident in their school work performanceHere is a listing of all of our School Based programs…Monday afternoons (2:50pm-4:20pm)Hyde Park CommunityBret Harte Elementary1556 E. 56^TH street  Monday afternoons (3:00pm-4:00pm)Bronzeville CommunityPrice Elementary4351 S.
