Support Chicago's Young People with A Night of Trivia Hosted by Lion's Pride Mentoring!

Are You Smarter Than A 9th Grader with Lion's Pride Mentoring is BACK! Are you up to the challenge? Grab your friends, grab your coworkers, grab a few tickets. Answer questions written by actual, real-life 9th graders, learn about our organization, and have a blast with our community.

All proceeds from this event will go towards supporting our peer mentoring programs in Chicago's high schools. Our mission is to change Chicago's educational landscape by helping more students graduate from high school and cultivate economic sustainability through the power of peer mentoring. We train high performing juniors and seniors to mentor incoming 9th graders by focusing on goal setting, good study habits, and social-emotional growth. By leveraging the influence of their older peers, our programming supports 9th graders through their first year of high school with the goal of helping them reach graduation and take the college and career path of their choice.

Our approach to achieving this mission involves implementing and scaling programs while focusing on three interconnected pillars: leadership development, career development, and mental well-being.
