Inner-City Education Program

We create opportunity. One community, one athlete, one student at a time.

The Inner-City Education Program is focused on helping children from underprivileged and underserved Chicago communities achieve their potential by giving them access to educational opportunities and the sport of hockey that would otherwise be unattainable for them.

These are children who are bright, curious and full of potential but are often from difficult family situations and dangerous communities with poor quality public education and limited access to organized sports. Due to no fault of their own, they do not get the quality of education and opportunities they need to develop and grow in ways that enable them to thrive and enjoy a brighter future.

Our focus is on providing opportunity for children through:

- Scholarships to high quality schools across Chicago

- Access to the sport of hockey through our Hockey Club where students benefit from the lessons of teamwork, commitment, dedication and leadership

- Educational support through our Academic Tutoring Program with required attendance by every hockey club participant

- Building relationships with our Mentors who act as positive role models and forces in students lives

We believe it is our unique and powerful combination of services that has allowed us to change the lives of many children. Our goal is to serve as many of these underprivileged children and are looking for others to support us in changing their futures.
