Mission Statement: Lion’s Pride Mentoring Inc. (Pride) empowers student leaders in schools. We train high-achieving high school juniors and seniors to mentor incoming freshmen, giving them a role model to help navigate unfamiliar territory and reach their full potential. Ultimately, Pride seeks to change the educational landscape in Chicago by connecting young people to mentors just like them, helping more freshmen stay on track, graduate from high school and eventually the college of their choice.
