Description:
Brighter Futures is a non-profit organization started specifically to benefit the students in the Chicago Public School System. Our mission is to get students excited about going to school, to make them realize the importance of making good grades, and to ensure that they become well informed about the choices that they have for their future and are prepared to take on the challenges of achieving their goals. Brighter Futures has worked hard developing 12 programs that are operated year round and although specifically designed for low-income students are available to anyone that will benefit from them, free of charge regardless of race, gender or economic class. These programs include: tutoring, mentoring, volunteer encouragement, a yearly College/Career Fair, ACT/GED Test prep classes,
