SOON

We’re beyond excited to introduce Chicago Emerging Stars, an organization that’s dedicated to helping young people in underserved communities thrive. Focused on youth ages 7 to 24, we’ll offer mentorship, resources, and career development opportunities that promote academic success, personal growth, and professional achievement. Our mission is to create a space where every young person has the support and tools they need to overcome challenges and unlock their full potential.

​

​

The heart of Chicago Emerging Stars comes from our founder, Jaqueza Thomas. His own journey from Chicago’s underserved neighborhoods to success is proof of how mentorship and community support can change a life. Jaqueza’s mentors believed in him when he struggled to believe in himself. They helped him navigate school, develop professional skills, and discover his purpose. Now, Jaqueza is committed to offering that same hope and opportunity to young people facing similar obstacles.

​​

We’re just getting started, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come. With Jaqueza’s leadership, Chicago Emerging Stars will provide a safe, supportive space where young people can grow, learn, and thrive. Together, we’re committed to helping each young person shine and build a brighter future. Stay tuned for our launch—we can’t wait for you to join us in this exciting journey!
