Talented Tenth College Prepatory Career Mentoring Organization
The Talented Tenth College Prep. partners with the 17th Ward to celebrate Memorial Day with the Veterans at 77th and Emerald. This grant opportunity will give us the opportunity to grow this special day with more blocks within the community. We sponsor this event to help our youth and elders build better relationships. This opportunity will help us recruit more youth for our regular program and will help us to get more of our young men some landscaping and gardening skills. This grant will help us to provide more quality bands that will attract more teens. We will utilize the other half of the grant to kick start our regular program early to meet the gap week when CPS closes and the Park District opens.
