Mentees

The youth enrolled in the ICYCF mentorship program are at the very heart of everything we do as an organization.

Mentorship Program Requirements

ICYCF sponsors a mentorship and scholarship program for Chicago high school students and college freshman.  Upon acceptance into the Program each mentee is paired with a mentor who is in college, graduate school or has recently graduated from college.   Each week mentees are required to connect with their mentors to discuss and review lessons on a variety of topics.  Mentees who fulfill their commitment to the mentorship portion of the Program are also eligible to apply for college scholarship funds.
