Project OneTen

Happy Holidays from the Project OneTen fam! Wishing you a safe, restful, and fun season. 💙

Our final workshop of the year 🥲 (real tears). During this session, students and Success Coaches had an opportunity to: 🔎 Reflect on and celebrate their growth 🔮 Identify future opportunities and areas for growth 💬 Discuss ways to support and continue to develop our P110 mentor/mentee relationships Andddd we may have done an activity to see who could build the tallest tower using marshmallows and spaghetti. But that's a story for another day. Until next year! #ProjectOneTen #ItAllStartsHere #FuelTheFuture #StudentSucces #Chicago

And just like that, we’re more than three-quarters of the way to our fundraising goal! 👏🏾 Thank you to every donor and partner who has made this possible. There’s still one month left to give toward fueling the future. Let’s keep pushing!

We couldn't let the year go by without announcing the newest edition to our board, Cameron Barnes! During a time when Project OneTen is navigating the ins and outs of expanding our reach, your expertise and passion is timely! Welcome to the team. #ItAllStartsHere 📍

Our programming is more than workshops—it’s about building a strong community of peers and adults supporting boys of color across Chicago. #FuelTheFuture ⛽️

It's Mentor Monday! ✨⁠ ⁠ Today, we highlight one of our fantastic volunteer success coaches supporting our young leaders in Cohort 5 this year.⁠ ⁠ Thanks, Travis Onyima, for your support and for joining our movement to uplift boys of color in Chicago. Here's to an amazing school year!⁠ ⁠ #ProjectOneTen #ItAllStartsHere #SocialImpact #Volunteering #Mentorship #Chicago

Our annual trivia night was an absolute ball! Shoutout to the winning team! How’d you all know what a nautical league was? 😮💨 Too smart! We truly have an amazing community. Thank to the Chicago Bulls for sponsoring and Three Cities Social for hosting. And a big thank you to everyone who made it out! Because of you, we were able to raise $7,000 toward our #FuelTheFuture campaign to support Black and Brown boys in Chicago. Same time next year?

Mentorship matters. With your support, we can inspire more young men to reach their academic and personal best. Visit give.projectoneten.org to #FuelTheFuture and further support our volunteer Success Coaches in their pursuit to guide and empower their mentees.

We spent our Saturday morning at the Greater Chicago Food Depository doing our part to close the gaps in access to food in our community. We packed over 8,000 pounds of food into 2,944 bags, equating to approximately 7,360 meals! #ItAllStartsHere 💙

Project OneTen empowers young men to share, listen and grow together. By supporting spaces for authentic expression, we’re shaping leaders for tomorrow. Help us continue this work! #FuelTheFuture at give.projectoneten.org. ⛽️
