Parent Mentors help close persistent equity gaps in our children’s schools by volunteering in a classroom for two hours a day supporting students for the duration of a semester. These dedicated volunteers work one-on-one or in small groups with students who need extra support in the classroom. Parent Mentors are provided with necessary training, compensated with a modest stipend, and offered weekly workshops on professional development skills in academic instruction and leadership. Together, we support each other to pursue our goals and unite the school community for long-term change. Thank you to the Waukegan Community Unit School District 60 for your partnership and support.

Join us in celebrating 20 years of impactful service at our Thread of Hope Gala! For two decades, we’ve been addressing vital community issues such as immigration, poverty, healthcare, and education. Our mission is to empower immigrants and citizens, helping them navigate challenges and become knowledgeable, empowered members of society. This gala celebrates resilience, diversity, and the interconnectedness of the human experience. Together, we are stronger! Each thread symbolizes the bonds between families and neighbors, reminding us that our shared challenges deepen our understanding of one another. Just as threads weave together to form a beautiful tapestry, our community’s rich diversity of unique talents and experiences enriches us all, sparking innovative solutions in the face of adversity. United like threads in a tapestry, we embody resilience and strength. We work together to create a better, brighter future for our communities. Join us in this celebration of our collective journey!
