Meet the Founders
In the fall of 2010, five young women, who are now graduates of Howard University, saw the need for a mentorship program that assisted students with their matriculation through college. These ladies were not privileged to have someone guide them through the various obstacles they faced. They were determined to make a change for the students that followed them.
“Giving back to the youth has always been something we have been passionate about and is one of the most rewarding experiences that we have had in our lives. It was something that
we never had, being the difference in the lives of our future leaders is a honor and a privilege” - C.H.I.L.L. Founders
