Hi there,
I noticed that you may be interested in learning more about
Wingspan Scholars and would love to connect with you! In the meantime, I wanted to provide a snapshot of who we are, what we believe, and what we do.
We’re a Chicago-based 501c3 nonprofit on a mission to empower high school students from diverse social and economic backgrounds by equipping them with the tools necessary for lifelong success. We believe every student deserves access to high-quality education that integrates rigorous academic with athletics and other extracurricular opportunities, ensuring students are prepared to excel both academically and in their future endeavors.
We are committed to breaking down barriers to achievement, fostering well-rounded development, and creating pathways to success for all Chicago students, regardless of their circumstances.
Our Core Values are:
- Well-being — Building strong bodies and clever minds through participation in physical and social activities.
- Inclusion — Enabling opportunities for students regardless of their social or economic background.
- Nurture — Preparing the next generation for lifelong success through a strong, well-rounded education.
- Growth — Fostering social, cooperative and problem-solving skills through active involvement in teams, clubs and community opportunities.
Right now, we’re in the middle of our “Fuel Their Futures” Giving Campaign, with a goal to sponsor five incredible high school students—covering everything from uniforms, textbooks, school supplies, tech to academic fees and equipment– and we’d love your help in making that happen.
