Did you know that youth with mentors are 46% less likely to begin using drugs? And around twice as likely to hold leadership positions in their schools and volunteer in their communities? Learn how you can be a mentor to youth in North Lawndale! Come to Lawndale Christian Legal Center's Mentor Orientation to learn more about our one-on-one mentoring program and how you can be a part of walking youth through, and away from, the criminal justice system.
We pair youth, ages 24 and younger, with a caring mentor who acts as role model and friend. LCLC serves North Lawndale and neighboring communities. 95% of our youth are male and 98% are African-American.
This Mentor Orientation will be held on September 17 from 10:00am - 11:30am at LCLC's office on 1530 S Hamlin Ave., Chicago, IL 60623. Contact Maggie at mlamb@lclc.net or 773-762-6381 to RSVP. We'll see you there!

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.
