WITS believes that literacy is the foundation on which all other learning develops. Our mission is to empower Chicago elementary students to discover themselves through reading while developing foundational literacy skills. We do this by creating community through literacy-based mentorship, enabling teachers to build diverse classroom libraries, and promoting book ownership at home.

 

Cboe Empowers is a community engagement program that supports under-resourced students across the educational spectrum through mentorship, scholarships, and access to Cboe’s associates, work environment, and other academic, professional, and personal opportunities.
