Love working with high school age youth? Lawndale Christian Legal Center's After School Program creates a safe space for 6-12 youth 5 days a week. Youth participate in "Real Talk" discussions, literacy program, "restorative justice" peace circles, and educational outings. These activities are designed to support the youth in becoming good citizens and leaders of their community.
As a volunteer, you'll do more than supervise. You will have the opportunity to build relationships and act as a good role model while also having fun and participating alongside the youth.
The program runs Tuesday - Friday 5:00pm - 7:00pm and Saturdays from 10:00am - 2:00pm. Contact Tae at taderman@lclc.net or 773-762-6381 to learn how you can be an After School Program volunteer!

Mission Statement
The Lawndale Christian Legal Center's mission is to show and share the love of Jesus by providing legal services grounded in restorative justice for youth in the Lawndale area.
Description
Our vision is to raise up justly-treated youth who are restored from trauma, empowered to lead, embraced by their families and community, and free from the criminal justice system.
We do this by providing legal representation and social service care to court-involved youth, ages 24 and younger, who reside in Chicago, IL’s community of North Lawndale.
Services include legal representation, case management, one-on-one mentoring, jobs training and placement, mental health services, an after school program, and a diversion program.
As a non-profit organization, our volunteers are an integral part of fulfilling our vision. From grabbing a bite to eat with a youth under the one-on-one mentoring program to building relationships in a group setting with the After School Program, volunteers are indispensable.
