*****Wanted to pass along to the parents/ guardians of 6th- 12th graders from the Quad County Urban League*****

We are excited to introduce you to two of Quad County Urban League’s signature youth development programs: TSTM (Tomorrow’s Scientists, Technicians, and Managers) and Project Ready. These programs are designed to empower students through academic support, leadership development, and exposure to post-secondary opportunities.

TSTM is open to students in 6th–12th grade who maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. This program focuses on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) initiatives and careers, encouraging students to explore and excel in these fields.

Project Ready is designed for 9th–12th grade students and emphasizes college readiness, with a special focus on increasing awareness and enrollment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Participants will take part in community service, leadership training, civic engagement, cultural enrichment, and professional development.

Both programs are completely free and begin this September.

If you know any students who can benefit from these enriching opportunities, please see attached flyer to apply.

For questions or more information, feel free to contact us at (630) 851-2203 or visit our website at www.qcul.org.

We look forward to partnering with you to support our future leaders!

Warm regards,



Quad County Urban League | 1685 N. Farnsworth Avenue | Aurora IL 60505
