At Chicago Emerging Stars, we’re here to empower young people from underserved communities to reach their full potential. Founded by Jaqueza Thomas, our youth-led nonprofit provides mentorship, resources, and opportunities to youth ages 7 to 24, helping them grow academically, personally, and professionally.
Through one-on-one mentorship, career development, and community involvement, we’re shaping the next generation of leaders one star at a time. We believe that consistent support, trusted guidance, and real opportunities can unlock what’s already inside every young person. Join us in making a difference. Together, we can help youth build the skills, confidence, and direction they need to thrive and create brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
