Jameisha Ward
Chicago
Summary
I worked with at-risk youth weekly, where I served as a mentor for minors who have criminal cases in Cook County Juvenile Court. My mission was to encourage teens who went down the wrong path to finish high school and pursue higher education. I also served as a mentor for teens who graduated high school and became a recipient of the Project Lifeline scholarship, funded through Juvenile Court. My goal was to help newly awarded scholarship recipients, maneuver through the college admission and registration process.
