Triple Threat Mentoring is STOKED to partner with Jordan Brand for the WINGS program, a new community impact program that aims to empower at-risk youth on the south and west sides of Chicago.

WINGS is a global initiative that leverages Michael Jordan and his legacy on and off the court to inspire youth to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams. Awesome part — Triple Threat Mentoring is the nonprofit partner bringing the WINGS program to Junior High students the United States!

FOR REAL!?! (Yes!)

We’re partnering with Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) and Chicago Youth Centers (CYC) and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for this exclusive, year-long program. The four schools we’re working at include: Dvorak, Deneen, Daley and Chalmers.

The goal is to pique students’ interest in the areas they love, and exposing them to career and life options in those areas that they may not have been aware of. WINGS seeks to infuse positivity and hope into the community by giving youth a voice, more opportunities and a platform to #TakeFlight.

Sound AWESOME? Good! Starting in October of 2015, we’ll have awesome volunteer opportunities in a ton of arts, academics and athletic areas. For the winter, we’re seeking volunteers to share their passion in a ton of other areas, including entrepreneurship and business development in the areas of sports, music and entertainment!

At Triple Threat, we’re all about passion-based mentoring. That means, our mentoring looks different (and AWESOME!) at all times. As an organization, we take what everyday people are passionate about and use it as a tool to fight poverty. We help volunteers setup their own mentoring programs by finding other volunteers, locations, youth, supplies and everything else they might need.

So in the end, we do all kinds of passion-based mentoring in the Chicago and Los Angeles areas. Sports mentoring. Poetry mentoring. Basketball mentoring. BMC Racing mentoring. Painting mentoring. Music mentoring. DJing mentoring. Athletics mentoring. Academics mentoring. Dance mentoring. Photography mentoring. Anything-you’re-passionate-about mentoring.

Get it?

We’ve worked in the city of Chicago since 2008. We’ve partnered with a ton of awesome peeps to make magic happen in the Chicago area, including Nike, Jordan Brand, Black Entertainment Television, Mission Year, Chicago Park District, Powerbar, JC Penny, Target, Chicago Youth Centers, Fellowship Baptist and many more.

We’ve ran our own passion-based programming in Chicago, as well as large-scale events for hundreds of urban youth.

Most notably, we partnered with Nike, True Star Media, Optimus and Kevin Carroll in 2014 and 2015 for a program called Learn Your Game. That program was the first of its kind, offering 100 Chicago youth on the west and south sides an in-depth program that taught them how to overcome obstacles and succeed in life.
