The goal of the mentoring program is to increase the students’ sense of self by understanding their global in- terconnectivity and history and build their self-worth and self-understanding of who they are in their local commu- nity.
“The Chicago Police Foundation believes that this is an effective program for helping to open dialogue and inter- action between the Chicago Police Department and com- munity members,” said John C. Robak, Chair of the Chi- cago Police Foundation. “And, we’re pleased to financially support the expansion of ‘The Law and Your Communi- ty Global Ambassador Summer Mentoring Program” to provide a positive learning activity and experience for students when they are out of school during the summer months.”
In addition to supporting the DuSable Museum pro- gram for students this summer, the Chicago Police Foun- dation is also funding one-day workshop and presenta- tion sessions of “The Law and Your Community” that will be open to all ages at various churches and civic organi- zations in the City, in response to numerous requests re- ceived by NOBLE for the program.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson also expressed his thanks to the Chicago Police Foundation.
“I am very grateful for the support as we expand our community outreach,” Johnson said. “It is essential that we join our partners in reaching out to young people about positive police interactions.” d
