Our Mission

​Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth is a 501(c)3 organization that channels the legal community’s resources to promote mentoring and tutoring programs in disadvantaged Chicago communities.

In 2016, Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth launched Lend-A-Hand Tutoring at the CBA, which provides free one-to-one tutoring and mentoring to students from the Englewood community and, as of 2021, Providence Englewood Charter School
(PECS). Tutoring takes place on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. during the school year at the Chicago Bar Association, 321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL. The program has a focus on literacy and transports the students to tutoring by bus.

Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth also awards grants to support the general operations of local one-to-one tutoring and mentoring programs. This year, we will award grants to thirteen programs serving youth all across Chicagoland. Since its founding in 1995 by former Chicago Bar Association President Thomas A. Demetrio, Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth has awarded $1.7 million in grants and positively affected the lives of thousands of youth. We also recognize outstanding tutoring and mentoring programs through the Thomas A. Demetrio Award of Excellence and other named grants at its Spring Awards Dinner.
