We had a powerful Champs x Career Panel at our Kickin It With Stix session. Mental Health Coordinator Calvin, Josh, and Chris shared about their journey and career about their journey with the Bulls. Mental Health anchored them thru the ups and downs. We asked questions and got answers.

Thank you to Southside native Jimmie “Smoke” Taylor for speaking to our CHAMPS Saturday young men. Real estate investor, entrepreneur, and owner of one of the largest Southside cycling venues for 10+ years, he showed our mentees what ownership, discipline, and giving back looks like.

Exposure builds belief. Our young men left inspired.

Rest well Rev. Jesse Jackson

Thank you for speaking life and praying over our young men at CHAMPS Mentoring and honoring us before the world. We will never forget you wearing our CHAMPS shirt, spending time with our mentees, sharing pizza and stories about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and praying over our future.

Your legacy of faith, courage, and service will keep guiding our boys and young men across Chicago and beyond. We are grateful for your love and leadership. 🕊️

Champs engaged in a Mental Health Exposure Trip to learn about Pottery (Ceramics). This past week, we exposed our Kings hands-on Pottery Experience at Little Black Pearl thanks to .asif.becker, our young men practiced patience, focus, and self-expression together. Mental Health Coordinator Coach Aaron shared about how moments like these remind us that mentorship is not just conversations, it is experiences that build confidence, identity, and purpose.

As we step into February, we are still carrying the momentum from the last day of National Mentoring Month (January) and the powerful way we closed it out.

CHAMPS Mentoring proudly celebrated our CHAMPS Ambassadors and Parent Leaders who continue to model what leadership, accountability, and partnership look like in real time.

Our CHAMPS Ambassadors are setting the standard. They lead by example. They support their younger brothers. They represent excellence in their schools and in their communities. They are not just participants in the program. They are culture builders.

Our Parent Leaders are essential to this movement. Their consistency, communication, and commitment reinforce the values of CHAMPS at home. When families and mentors are aligned, our young men win.

National Mentoring Month may have ended in January, but mentorship does not stop. It continues every day in classrooms, communities, and conversations that shape the future of our young men.

Nearly 12,000 youth served in over 12 years.
A growing network of movers and shakers.
A commitment that does not expire.

CHAMPS ALL IN
