For 90 years, Youth Guidance has served inner-city areas where
the challenges of community violence and academic failure among
youth are greatest. The agency operates in 80 Chicago public
schools and directly served more than 8,000 youth in the
2014-2015 school year. Working on Womanhood (W.O.W.) is one of
Youth Guidance’s school-based programs, which supports at-risk
girls in grades 7-12 through counseling, mentoring, character
development, and educational enrichment.
“W.O.W. creates a unique environment for young women to build
unbreakable bonds amongst each other,” said Tracy Nolan, Sprint
president and general manager of Illinois and Wisconsin. “I am
honored to support Youth Guidance and am excited to continue
investing in similar programs.”
In addition to the Chicago Sky WNBA game and dinner, Sheryl
Swoopes, head coach of the women’s basketball team at Loyola
University and WNBA legend, will join as Sprint’s dinner guest.
Swoopes is a four-time WNBA champion, NCAA champion and three-time
Olympic gold medalist.
“We thank Sprint for their support and generosity,” said
Michelle Morrison, Youth Guidance CEO. “These types of donations
mean the world to Chicago youth, and we are fortunate to have
Sprint as our new partner.”
Youth Guidance is a non-profit organization that relies on the
support and collaboration of partners to achieve their goals. For
