Restored Hope

We are thrilled to announce that our founder and executive director was nominated for the Chicago Learning Exchange, Brother Mike Award.
“Every day, unsung heroes across Chicago show up for our young people, working tirelessly to help improve outcomes and maximize their potential, often without recognition or financial gain. CLX is privileged to honor these inspiring individuals as nominees for the Brother Mike Award, celebrating their dedication and the spirit of mentorship that “Brother Mike” Hawkins exemplified.”

As Brother Mike once said, “Being a mentor is loving what you do enough to pass that knowledge onto the next person.”

Let’s congratulate Tameka and all the other amazing nominees for this year’s award.

This summer in partnership with we taught a 4-series Mindfulness for Mental Health course for over 60 youth. We are grateful that they leaned in and recognized the importance of building tools in their tool boxes.
