HFS Chicago Scholars is a 501(c)(3) organization that serves the greater Chicago area. We provide mentorship, college readiness, and academic success tools to underserved high school students. Each of our scholars receives an academic scholarship to attend on of Chicago's top private high schools. We recently welcomed our largest class of freshmen...70! Part of our programming includes matching each scholar with an established professional in the Chicago community to offer advice, support, and connection. We are looking for professionals of any sector that believe in our mission to join our family as mentors for the upcoming school year. Questions can be directed to Director of Mentor Relations, Ilyssa Haner, at ihaner@hfschicagoscholars.com.
