The awards program will highlight the outstanding work of our partners to bring CLF programs to life as they work alongside high risk youth to support them in pathways to success in school, work, and civic life.
This year, CLF selected three award recipients based on a track record of success, excellent communication and the willingness to go above and beyond to engage and empower young people and emerging adults. This year’s honorees include: Partner Award - Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart; Mentor Award - Charles Hardwick, Manager, Howard Area Community Center Employment Resource Center and the Youth Achievement Award - Mark Sheridan Math and Science Academy in Chicago.
"The basis of what we do at CLF is to partner with nonprofits, the Chicago Public Schools, the City of Chicago, the Juvenile Justice System and many others, so our goal is to celebrate a few of our key partners and partnerships that help empower the youth of Chicago to succeed and lead." - Paul Dean, Executive Director- Operations at CLF.
