 Make a difference in a child’s life!
Our volunteers come from colleges and businesses around the Chicago area. Over 150 women dedicate their time once a week to share their talents with Metro’s inner city girls. While most volunteers serve as tutors and mentors, others help as fine arts teachers, career speakers and field trip chaperones. With the generosity of our volunteers from companies such as Walgreen Co., JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Mintel International, DePaul, and the University of Illinois at Chicago our students are challenged to form both good study habits and good relationships.
