Here at LSSI, we have a unique program called Steps to Life. The program strives to empower youth to constructively build character, encourages positive life enrichment, and assists youth in developing skills for successful independent living. We meet these goals through interactive education sessions, field trips, retreats, and other activities. We meet for sessions once each week for two hours in Blue Island. Participants in this program are between the ages of 13-21. We are currently looking for individuals who are interested in volunteering to mentor our youth. We would be grateful for individuals or groups to participate in group discussions, lead workshops or participate in community outings with the group. This would be a great opportunity for our youth to engage people in the community and learn from their unique experiences. It is our belief that exposure to successful adults and the diverse social and cultural events ongoing throughout the Chicago area aids in the development of children, particularly adolescents.
