Area residents launch ‘deep’ mentoring in Austin Friends of the Children focuses on West Side with help from Oak Park, River Forest leaders By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Patrick Kindred met Carlos Baca in 1998 — when Kindred was entering first grade. They’ve had a bond ever since. The pair’s 20-year relationship was forged through an organization called Friends of the Children, which pairs some of the country’s most at-risk young people with salaried mentors, from the time those young people first enter the classroom until they graduate from high school. According to the organization’s data, 83 percent of young people who participate in Friends graduate with at least a high school diploma or GED, 93 percent avoid entering the juvenile justice system, and 98 percent avoid becoming parents in their teens — the three biggest risk factors for determining if an individual will live in poverty, according to the organization’s research. Now a group of people, most of them from Oak Park, River Forest and Austin, are planting a branch of Friends of the Children in the Chicago area. They’ll select 24 at-risk kids from schools on the West Side, including one elementary school in Austin, and pair them with three mentors, paid $40,000 each. Each mentor will be assigned to eight children. The mentors are responsible for sticking with the children for the next 12 years, dedicating at least four hours a week to each child. On average, mentors (who are usually of the See FRIENDS on page 10

RE-DEFINING WHAT BLACK SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE: Doctors Max Madhere, Joe Semien and Pierre Johnson who pushed themselves to the top of the medical field, say they want more black males to realize that they don’t have to change who they are to be successful.
Masters of perseverance
How Doctors Pierre Johnson, Max Madhere and Joe Semien went from Xavier to the top of their fields By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Doctors Pierre Johnson, 37, Max Madhere, 37, and Joe Semien, 40, met roughly two decades ago inside of the library at Xavier University of Louisiana during their undergraduate studies. They formed a bond that helped propel them from col-
lege, through medical school and residency to the top of their respective fields. Johnson and Joe Semien are both board-certified obstetrician-gynecologists while Madhere is a board-certified cardiothoracic anesthesiologist. The doctors recently released a book, “Pulse of Perseverance,” about their struggle, which they said is also a blueprint for
African Americans, particularly males, who may be facing odds similar to the ones they confronted while growing up. They sat for a recent phone interview ahead of their upcoming appearance in the Chicago area. On March 16, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., they’ll be at Bureau Bar, 75 E. 16th St., for a meet and greet mixer and book signing. On March 17, 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., they’ll be at Afriware Books, 1701 1st Ave.

David Sanders is Malcolm X proud David Sanders, the president of Malcolm X College, hosted Rep. Danny K Davis’s State of Education on the West Side forum on Feb. 24, Sanders gave an upbeat update on the college’s progress. Community colleges are the lowest rung of the post-secondary education ladder, where students start out. Nationally, the graduation rate from community colleges is 44 percent. Our graduation rate was only 7 percent and our funding has dropped by $10 million over seven years. When the city college system decided to put $250,000 into our new building, some people questioned (former City Colleges Chancellor) Cheryl Hyman’s investment. As Deputy C.O.O for City Colleges of Chicago, I served as lead project manager for construction of Malcolm X’s new College to Career Health Sciences building and we opened in January 2016. There’s a lot of great things on the West Side. We now have a 19 percent graduate rate and our target is 32 percent next year. For every student who walks in the door, we help them transform their lives. Research
shows students don’t step out of college due to their lack of ability, but because of social and economic issues. One student’s needs are not the same as another’s. We invest in faculty to work with students and determine a way for each one to succeed. Once you see what we have to offer, you’ll want to stay in school here. Each year, we take 4,000 prospective students on tour to see our college with the new virtual hospital. Don’t look at City Colleges as a school of last resort; we are schools of first choice. The Star Scholarship program offers free tuition to high school students with a B-average, and if you keep your grades up in City Colleges, you can get a scholarship to a 4-year college or training program. There’s even a program where you pay tuition for six months for $1,750, and get placed in a $40,000 a year job. And we’re not changing the name! Malcolm X said education is your passport to the future, and that’s what we do here at Malcolm X College.

State agency seeks to educate West Side homeowners
The Illinois Housing Development Authority offers range of resources, official says By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
During 29th Ward Ald. Chris Taliaferro’s March 7 community meeting, held at the Columbus Park Rectory, 5701 W. Jackson Blvd., Victoria Vann — an account manager with the Illinois Housing Development Authority — said that her agency has many programs that help Austin residents buy and keep their homes. The problem, she said, is that many West Side home owners don’t know the programs even exist, so they don’t take advantage of them. Those IHDA programs include one that offers assistance for first-time homebuyers during the home closing process and a range of services that help people who are refinancing their mortgages. Vann said that she’s on a mission to educate residents about the resources offered by IHDA — a state agency that uses a com-
bination of federal funds, state grants and state funds generated through certain fees to help Illinois residents buy and keep their homes. Most of the home buyers and home owners who take advantage of IHDA programs live in suburbs like Schaumburg and Naperville, Vann said, adding that she wanted to make sure Austin residents get their shot at the resources as well. “I just want to penetrate this market so everybody has an opportunity to take advantage of these programs,” Vann said. “It’s not used in the City of Chicago as much as the suburbs and that’s why I’m here before you.” Vann said that the IHDAccess mortgages are divided into three types — forgivable, deferred and repayable. The forgivable mortgage is a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage, and applicants can apply for up to $6,000 in down payment assistance. If they stay in a house for at least 10 years, they won’t have to pay back the down payment assistance, but if they sell the house before then, they can either pay it off gradually or repay it all at once. The deferred IHDAccess mortgage is similar, except that applicants can get up to $7,500 in down payment assistance. They must pay back the amount over the next 30
years. Vann explained that it’s up to the applicants to decide exactly how much they would pay back and how often. She said that they could even pay off the down payment before 30 years are up, if they choose. The applicants, however, must have a credit score of at least 640. The repayable mortgage allows applicants to get up to $10,000 in repayment assistance, but in this case applicant must repay the assistance amount in regular monthly payments. The 1st Home Illinois program offers a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for borrowers, who can get up to $7,500 to help cover the down payment and closing costs. Unlike IHDAccess mortgages, this assistance is a grant, so the borrowers wouldn’t have to pay it all back. HomeIllinois is limited to first-time home buyers or residents who haven’t owned homes in the last three years. Veterans can apply for it no matter whether they’ve bought a home before or not. With both HomeIllinois and IHDAccess mortgages, the home purchase price can’t go above certain limits. A one-unit property can’t cost more than $336,706 and the twounit properties can’t cost more than $431,033. The I-REFI program offers up $50,000 in federal assistance to help home owners refi-
nance their mortgages into something more affordable. They must be current on their mortgage for at least 12 months and their home value must be within the limits mentioned in the previous paragraph. All three programs are subject to income caps. Usually, the applicants must have an income of no more than $94,800. If the applicants are able to get a Mortgage Credit Certificate, which would entitle them to certain tax credits, the limit goes down to $79,000 for households with 1 to 2 people, and to $90,850 for households bigger than that. Finally, IHDA offers a reverse mortgage assistance program to help seniors who have federal reverse mortgages on their primary residence and who may owe money in real estate taxes. The seniors must have incomes of less than 120 percent of Cook County’s median income, which is currently $56,902. Vann explained that seniors can get up to $35,000 in financial assistance. If they stay in their home for at least five years, they won’t have to pay any of that back. For more information about these IHDA programs, visit ihda.org. Vann said that any interested residents can contact her directly by phone at (312) 836-5362 or e-mail at vvann@ihda.org, CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

West Side residents brainstorm education improvements
CPS network chief, community leaders focus on attracting, retaining students
icago Tribune y Ch b d
By ANALISA TROFIMUK About a dozen West Side residents, teachers and others concerned about education in Austin gathered earlier this month to continue work on a 5-year improvement plan. Among participants was CPS’s Network 3 Chief, Randel Josserand, who said a vital step for improvement is attracting highly qualified elementary school students to continue their education in Austin rather than attending high school elsewhere. “Most neighborhood schools don’t retain the kids that live within the boundary. We’re not different in that,” Josserand said. Students choose schools outside of their neighborhood sometimes based on where their siblings or friends attend, but the decision is not based on that alone. Some students choose a school with a low rate of disciplinary issues, as previously reported by the Chicago Tribune. “We need to improve relations, communication and exposure,” said Dwayne Truss, an Austin resident and community organizer. Members of Austin Coming Together are changing the narrative with plans to incorporate programs that expose students to a variety of professions that will get them excited about their education. This will help them decide to attend high schools that offer programs for what they would like to pursue. For example, Michele Clark Academic Prep Magnet School offers a manufacturing program. Natasha Smith-Walker, an Austin resident and executive director of Project Exploration, said educating elementary and middle school students about their options will help them decide what high school to choose based on the programs offered at Michele Clark.

MERGING MINDS: West Side residents and CPS Network 3 Chief Randel Josserand meet to discuss improving West Side schools. “If you ask a fifth grader what they wanna do when they grow up, they’re not going to know because they haven’t been exposed to enough options,” Walker said. Jamaris Ealy, a seventh grade teacher at George Leland Elementary School and founder of the tutoring service Bridge Builder Tutoring, said the strategies that Austin Coming Together has come up with so far align with his work as an educator. “Some of the kids get to high school and take these entry-level exams, and they say it’s too advanced. We need to offer workplace prep in addition to high school prep,” Ealy said. His Bridge Builder Tutoring offers high school preparation for incoming freshmen and workplace preparation. Instilling the sense of dreaming beyond short-term will help inspire the students to think about their future, Truss said. Tonight (March 7), the economic development and community narrative working groups will meet from 6 to 8 p.m. at 5049 W. Harrison St. All are welcome.

On March 18, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., they’ll be at Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 W. 95th St., for a panel discussion and book signing. AWN: When I heard about you guys, I automatically thought about Drs. Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt and George Jenkins — three black men who pushed each other to become doctors. They eventually wrote a series of books on their experiences. MM: Out of the three of us, Pierre read their book [The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream]. Joe and I never read it, but we’ve always had a deep interest in the progression of our people. We’re still under the gun and society still doesn’t view us in a positive light. JS: By all means, we pay homage to those guys. We’ve talked with them. But [the paucity of stories of black men in the medical field] shows how far we need to go. PJ: The Pact came out in 2002. I was inspired by it when I read it, but once we went through our struggle as black men in medicine, we developed our own story. We want this to be a blueprint for how success is achieved and we want to make a movement out of this. We want to do something that’s much larger than our book. AWN: How did you guys meet? MM: When I got to Xavier, I failed my first exam. It kind of crushed my confidence a little bit, but at the same time, I wasn’t going to let that defeat me. I doubled down my efforts. I kept seeing Pierre in the library. We’d already met each other in the dorms and had exchanged pleasantries. He’s from Chicago and I’m from New York City, so we’d joke about sports teams and things like that. But it wasn’t until he saw me in the library that we broke the ice a bit. He asked

HOW THEY MADE IT: The doctors, who recently released a book, met while undergraduates at Xavier University of Louisiana. me if I ever went to my dorm and I said, only to brush my teeth and shower. That was about it. We opened up from there. When I saw Pierre, I saw the look a person who was driven and who was in the same fight I was in. We knew we were behind, but that we’d do whatever it took to succeed. PJ: Meeting Max and Joe was divine intervention. I say that because at the time, I was the most depressed I’ve ever been in my life. As a kid I was focused and always successful, but at Xavier, I wasn’t prepared for the curriculum. I didn’t know what a periodic table was. I had seen one, but I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know about atoms, neutrons and protons. I didn’t have AP classes. So when I got to college, I
was starting from a rudimentary level. That was really, really, really hard — trying to teach myself to learn what everybody else had at least some basic knowledge of. I was also supposed to play basketball, but my body wasn’t prepared for the rigors of that, either. I was at the point where I just didn’t know what to do. I’d be in my room crying. The more I’d study, the worse things would get. I felt alone. The first conversation we had about the grind and our goals felt completely organic. It was like looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing someone who matches your goals, your drive, your passion and your refusal to fail. We were like, ‘If we’re bound together, there’s no way we can fail.’ And no
sooner after me and Max came together, we saw Joe, who had the same look we had. Joe: When I met Max and Pierre, I had gotten to the point that I knew I had to refocus my mind. While I was refocusing my mind on my education, I met them. They had the same goal orientation I had. As a result, we bonded and held each other accountable.

BIG WEEK
Kidnapping victim needs professional help
A
t the age of eight hours old, Kamiyah Mobley was taken from her 16-year-old mother’s arms. She was literally stolen out of a Jacksonville, Florida hospital by kidnapper Gloria Williams. She was raised as Gloria’s daughter, Alexis Manigo, and for all intents and purposes — based on interviews she gave — Alexis had a good life. She has two older brothers and was the “little princess” of the family. Fast forward 18 years, and the truth is made public. Alexis is really Kamiyah and she is reunited with her birth parents. A happy ending like in the fairy tales, right? Well not quite. After being “found,” Kamiyah easily bonds with her birth father. But she struggles to have a new and bonding relationship with her birth mother. Especially because she still loves (yes, she knows what Gloria Williams did was wrong) and considers Gloria to be her “mom.” Kamiyah’s story made headline news when her true identity was first revealed in January 2017. Her story took on an even more fascinating tone when, for the premiere episode of Iyanla Vanzant’s Fix My Life, Kamiyah and her birth father appeared as participants on the show. Her birth mother, who initially contacted the show, subsequently decided not to appear. There is one point in the show where Iyanla tells the birth father that she wants to push the daughter to get at the emotions that are simmering beneath the surface. Kamiyah has done a stellar job of talking and making it appear that she has processed the entire debacle with ease. But while saying she has everything under control, her body language gives a completely different message. At one point, Iyanla puts Kamiyah in a white room surrounded by white bedding as her “cocoon” so she can be reborn, the prem-
ise being that she can choose which name she truly wants to be. Is she Kamiyah, the fairy tale person her parents have dreamed about who has been missing for the past 18 years? Or is she really Alexis, the girl who was raised, loved and nurtured by Gloria, even if under false pretenses? Kamiyah didn’t like the idea of having to spend the night and not be able to reach out to her dad, so she went off. The promo for Iyanla’s show contained a snippet of Kamiyah cussing out Iyanla with such vulgarness and viciousness that the desire to watch the entire episode to understand was a “no-brainer.” After watching the entire episode, one has to wonder just how much help had truly been afforded this child prior to Iyanla’s intervention. It’s obvious that she needs help to process the life changes that have occurred to her at such a young age. In many ways, Kamiyah/Alexis struggles with what she ought to feel about her kidnapper and her actual feelings about her kidnapper are the emotional undercurrents seething just beneath her surface. Hers is a fascinating look at someone who had known for over a year and a half, prior to the police confirming it, that she had been taken from her birth parents and yet she went along with the deception. The deception didn’t come to light because Kamiyah told authorities, but rather because someone else who knew the truth called in and told the truth. It is obvious based on other videos and reports that the entire family needs to go into some sort of emotional therapy. Her biological parents appear ill-equipped to deal with the emotional turmoil that is happening for her. The episode is available for free on YouTube by searching for both Iyanla and Kamiyah’s names.

A mental health support group comes to Austin The National Alliance on Mental Illness now has West Side presence By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
This fall, Leah Shapiro, of Forest Park, started a program to provide support for Austin residents who have family members living with mental illnesses — a subject close to Shapiro’s heart. Her own son, Jeff, was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 17. The doctors were able to diagnose him fairly quickly and he was able to get the treatment he needed. Since then, Shapiro has received training from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Chicago that allowed her to launch a support group for people who have a family member dealing with mental illness. The group meets every third Saturday of the month, between 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., at the Third Unitarian Church, 301 N. Mayfield Ave. in Austin. Shapiro said that she wants more NAMI resources to proliferate throughout West Side neighborhoods that need them most. To some extent, the organization is working to make this happen. Since 2017, NAMI Chicago has been part of a major push to expand mental health awareness on the West Side. It was one of the organizations involved in developing the City of Chicago’s West Side Community Outreach, a program designed to help residents recognize the signs of mental illness and remove the stigma associated with mental illness in the pro-
cess. At the time, Alexa James, the executive director at NAMI Chicago, said that the West Side was chosen because it is already “rich in resources,” so there was a foundation to build on. A few months later, the program appeared to bear fruit. According to a preliminary study released by the University of Illinois Chicago’s Jane Addams College of Social Work in August 2017, 300 community organization employees, a little over 100 faith leaders and a little over 100 school staff members completed training, bringing the total up to over 500. The major issue that gets in the way of addressing mental illness, Shapiro said, is the stigma surrounding it. While the stigma exists in all communities to some extent or another, she feels that it’s stronger in minority communities. “People, especially in African-American and Hispanic communities, are embarrassed,” she said, adding that there’s also the fact that families already worry about their
children facing discrimination and they worry that being labeled mentally ill would only make things worse. The family support groups serve several purposes, and combating the stigma is one of them. “We reject the stigma in ourselves and others,” Shapiro said. The UIC study shows that NAMI’s support group training may work. Researchers interviewed the training participants before and after the training was complete. The study found that the training lowered the stigma of mental illness among participants. Shapiro said that a major component of facing down the challenges of stigma is addressing the guilt many family members feel. Shapiro recalled that she’s been asked what she did wrong, because many people assume that her son’s schizophrenia had something to do with the way she raised him. “The key is, you didn’t cause it,” she said. “You let go of the guilt. It helps people. The idea is, I’m healthy, I’m not in any way responsible for my schizophrenia.” All NAMI Chicago family support groups are run by volunteers who have family members who are dealing with mental illness and have completed the 12-week training course that Shapiro went through. They are free and completely confidential. Members can atoned as many meetings as they want and leave the group altogether any time, if they choose to. “NAMI needs to have presence on the West side,” Shapiro said. “They need to serve the African-American community. That’s my priority right now.” Anyone who wants to attend or find out more about the group can call Shapiro at (718) 218-2102. CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Pass act to educate, train caregivers I urge Congressman Danny Davis to cosponsor the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act. My mother, Jane, died last year after battling Alzheimer’s disease for over five years. During those financially and emotionally draining years, we hired over 20 different caregivers from private agencies to assist us in her care. They all guaranteed us that their caregivers were trained in working with patients suffering from Alzheimer’s dementia. Unfortunately, that was not the case. My mother was a sweet, non-violent person, and uneducated caregivers would become frustrated or negligent because they did not understand how to care for someone with the disease. Caregiving is a hard job, mentally and physically, and often there is very little communication between the caregivers, family and medical staff. The proper training of our caregivers would have made a more manageable transition for our family and for mother’s end of life care from this horrific disease. Following these experiences, I have joined forces with the Alzheimer’s Association to encourage passage of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act or PCHETA (HR 1676). When enacted, this bill would help establish an adequate, well-
trained palliative care workforce through training, education, awareness, and enhanced research. Palliative and hospice care are specific medical approaches that focus on increasing support for patients and their caregivers. I want to thank Congressman Danny Davis for his past support and urge him to co-sponsor HR 1676. This bill will help open communication between patients, caregivers, doctors, and staff to ensure that quality care is available for those who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Lobby your legislators about gun regulation Another shocking mass killing by an obsessed young man who fit the FBI’s profile of a predictable problem. A teenager who was a loner, had juvenile problems, was dropped from school, had a fascination with guns, and even shot animals for thrill. This demented young man shot off over 100 rounds in less than 3 minutes during his mad killing spree at his former school. Now the blaming begins. Who, besides the killer, was at fault? How could this tragedy have been prevented? Many blame the FBI. They received two warnings about this man’s behavior. He had even threatened on email to “become a professional school shooter.”
Families of the victims are understandably outraged that the FBI did not follow even the minimal protocol required by these warnings. But, in fact, the FBI receives many similar warnings daily. Which do they choose to investigate? Some blame our laws, especially those that require use of a search warrant. These laws protect the innocent. Our Constitution and the Bill of Rights protect us from becoming a police state. Many blame the munitions manufacturers and the gun sellers. Certainly the checks on gun purchasers are flawed and these assault weapon suppliers are more concerned with their sales than how the gun is used. Even though they, too, are to blame, I believe the basic blame lies at the feet of our political leaders who have permitted sales of assault weapons. Why would it ever be legal to buy, own, and use a military, rapid-firing gun? Hunters use rifles, sharpshooters use special guns, and collectors have gun collections (many antiques) and I am sure the average American has no need for a military weapon. I contacted the National Rifle Association headquarters and spoke with a very courteous gentleman. I specifically inquired why the organization would oppose laws eliminating purchase, ownership and use of assault weapons. His answer was, “if you open the door to this change, we will be in danger of changes in general gun ownership laws.” In the meantime, the slaughter continues.
I realize abolishing use of these mass killing weapons would be difficult because of the large numbers already privately owned. But if our political leaders were seriously obliged to outlaw these weapons, it could be accomplished. It is tragic as mass killings continue that the almighty dollar (huge contributions to political campaigns) pre-empts lifesaving gun laws. Our president blames immigrants, but no immigrant has committed such a crime. He also proudly stated his support for, and association with, the NRA and its gun lobby. When these massacres occur, many of our political leaders have been empathetic and expressed sincere concerns. But as time passes, the rhetoric begins to fade into the “we must investigate further” statements and then nothing is done. I, too, must accept some blame as I became discouraged and therefore discontinued my communications with political leaders relative to this issue. Please join me now in pressuring all local, state, and national Democrats, Republicans and Independents to outlaw all military-style, rapid-firing guns and all assault weapons. We must be persistent, even to the President, with our calls, emails, personal letters and tweets. We need that “stick to it” patience to be sure that the assault weapon ban we propose remains on the political leaders “front burners.”

New security cameras, lighting planned for local CTA stops
Upgrades are part of recently announced ‘Safe and Secure’ program By NONA TEPPER Staff Reporter
New surveillance cameras will soon be added to Chicago Transit Authority stops in Forest Park, Oak Park and Austin, as part of the CTA’s “Safe and Secure” program, a $33 million effort announced Feb. 27 that aims to increase rider safety by installing and upgrading security cameras, lights and adding video monitoring to stations, CTA spokesman Jon Kaplan confirmed in an email to the Forest Park Review. Of the funds earmarked, $15 million will go toward modernizing lighting and making other repairs at Blue Line, Green Line and other train stations. An additional $13 million will be used for modernizing and upgrading train station cameras, according to the CTA. About 3,800 existing CTA security cameras will be traded out for high-definition models,

Forest Park Transit Center and 1,000 additional cameras will be added to stations. Another $1 million will go toward installing video monitors at el stops, which will allow employees to see what’s happening on the platforms. CTA President Dorval Carter said upgrades will begin on the Blue and Red lines, and then advance to other rail lines.
“Ensuring every CTA customer and employee is safe on our transit system is a top priority for me,” Carter said in a statement. “The Safe and Secure initiative allows us to build on the success of our past efforts and further improve the commuting experience for our customers.” Local stops that will receive new cameras
include the Harlem/Lake, Oak Park, Ridgeland and Austin stops on the Green Line, and the Forest Park, Harlem and Austin stops on the Blue Line. Kaplan said each local stop already has multiple cameras and will receive several more. He declined to comment on how many security cameras are currently at or will be added to each stop, citing “security purposes.” In Forest Park and Oak Park, money for the new cameras will come from various federal grants that have been earmarked for security improvements, Kaplan said, declining to elaborate further. Inside the city, in the Austin neighborhood, new cameras will be funded through a mix of federal and local funds, as well as from a portion of the city of Chicago’s ride-share fees. Chicago pockets 67 cents on every Uber, Lyft or other ride-sharing trip made in the city. CTA’s security camera network has doubled in size since 2011. The cameras, found at every rail station and on every bus and train, have aided police in the investigation, arrest and charging of more than 1,300 offenders, according to the CTA.

FRIENDS
Coming to Austin from page 1 same gender) stay with their mentees for roughly seven years — five years longer than an average social worker stays with a client, the organization’s founder, Duncan Campbell, has said in interviews. Taal Hasak-Lowy, the Chicago chapter’s inaugural executive director, said the new branch was able to launch after raising $1.5 million, mostly from private donors. Along with financial capital, HasakLowy also collected human capital, having built a seven-member board of directors that includes Oak Park Village Manager Cara Pavlicek, District 91 school board member Stacey Williams, and Community Bank Senior Vice President Ruth McLaren. During an interview last month, many of the board members said they were impressed with the Friends’ empirical approach, particularly its focus on conducting regular research into its performance. Williams said she was “sucked into the story” of the organization and impressed by “the attention to data.”
The organization’s approach is an extension of Campbell, a successful entrepreneur who started Friends in Portland in 1993. Campbell’s parents were alcoholics and as a child, he was literally raised in the homes of friends, he recalled in interviews. A friend’s father, for instance, taught him how to fish. The organization has since expanded to 15 locations in the U.S. and U.K., including Los Angeles, Harlem and Boston. Pavlicek and Hasak-Lowy said that, in addition to the “deep” mentoring, the Friends concept is also based on communities offering positive reinforcement — both from mentor to mentee and between mentees themselves. “The outcomes are just tremendous,” Hasak-Lowy said, adding that Friends, unlike many conventional mentoring organizations, targets children who need the most help. The relationship between Kindred and Baca is a testament to the organization’s mission, supporters of Friends say. By his own admission, Kindred was headed into the snare of the criminal justice system and poverty before he met Baca. After his path was rerouted by Friends, he said in a video released by the organization, he instead ended up attending the University of Oregon. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com
