Chicago Mentoring the next generation

LEADERSHIP

A strong mentor can be a crucial factor in helping Chicago’s next generation of leaders find their way to success. At Loyola, our mentorship programs forge connections between our students and their peers, alumni, faculty, and staff at the University, while in the Chicago community we are sitting down with the city’s high school, middle school, and elementary school students. Whether it’s guidance with class assignments, handling a new environment, or just sharing the same lived experience, providing the support and the skills to navigate what’s ahead can strengthen individuals and the community.
