Students from Aldridge Elementary attended a summer field trip to Millennium Park and Maggie Daley Park with Resource Coordinator A'Tierrah Reid Hart and ARC Tosha Kerby. During the trip, they participated in a downtown Chicago scavenger hunt, exploring the city's museums, stores, artifacts, shopping districts, and statues. This experience aimed to enhance their cultural awareness, historical knowledge, and understanding of horticulture.

About us
Youth Guidance creates and implements school-based programs that enable at-risk children to overcome obstacles, focus on their education and, ultimately, to succeed in school and in life. We believe that success is realized as students stay on track to graduate elementary and high school, develop the skills and abilities needed to make positive choices in their lives, and develop resilience assets such as self-efficacy, anger management, and positive values so that they may live successful, self-sufficient lives as adults. Our specific and strategically developed delivery areas are: Counseling & Prevention (BAM, WOW, STRIVE) Community & After-School (Parent/Family Engagement, Full-Service Community Schools Community Learning Centers and Extended Day & Enrichment Programs), and Career Readiness & Success. Youth Guidance directly serves more than 14,000 youth while touching the lives of many parents, teachers and community members. More than 95% of youth served are African American and Hispanic/Latino. Youth Guidance is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). To learn more, please visit our website at www.youth-guidance.org.

At Youth Guidance, we are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Hilco Global! This summer, our scholars had the amazing opportunity to participate in summer internships at Hilco Global. The internships culminated in an event where the interns presented everything they learned during their internships, including finance, marketing, business, and career advice. We extend heartfelt thanks to Karen Bubrowski, MBA, Gary Epstein, and Alyse Shapiro at Hilco Global for providing valuable and thoughtful internships to Anasia Beckham, a current WOW student, Sriharsha "Harsha" Kota, a sophomore at the University of Illinois in Urbana, and Bola Kalejaiye, a senior at Illinois State University. Guiding kids to brighter futures wouldn't be possible without partners like Hilco Global! Michele Cruz, LCPC, Rich Coplan #SummerInterns #Hilco #YG100

Great to see the findings from our Becoming A Man (BAM) #evaluation out last week. BAM is a positive #youth development programme developed in the US by Youth Guidance with a strong #evidence base from two RCTs, both of which found BAM reduced young people's involvement in #violence. The Youth Endowment Fund supported Mental Health Foundation to deliver BAM outside the US for the first time, in three secondary schools in Lambeth, South London. Along with colleagues from the University of Exeter and the University of Plymouth, we (Dartington Service Design Lab) led a #pilot study to see whether BAM could be adapted to this new context and test out methods and measures for a future evaluation. It's been a real privilege to work with the team at Mental Health Foundation on such a brilliant programme in the area I grew up in. Wishing them all the best for the future - excited to see what's next for BAM.

We are so grateful to have hosted an amazing group of volunteers from Youth Guidance KC 🫶🏽✨ They helped us so much with setting up apartments for new families and also with organizing our Family Empowerment Programming storage space. It was even all smiles while doing so! We hope to have them back again soon! 💜

Our BAM students from Shields Elementary School had an amazing summer field trip to The Forge Adventure Park, where they climbed and ziplined! It was a fantastic opportunity for students and counselors to bond through team-building activities. At Youth Guidance, we love providing safe and fun experiences for our youth during their summer break. #SafeSummer #BAM #YG100
