The Youth Pride Center ( formerly known as CGY ) will be giving away 'Back to School Makeovers' ( estimated value of $300 each ) to deserving youth between the ages of 14-23 during the month of September.
A personal shopper will escort the youth and his/her parent or guardian to select stores on Michigan Avenue.
Interested youth should write a 100-word or more statement as to why they would like a 'Back to School Makeover.' The letter can be emailed to the Youth Pride Center at info@cgyonline.org or dropped off in person at any Saturday drop-in between 1-2:30 p.m. Up to five winners will be selected.
The Youth Pride Center will also offer Book Payment Vouchers for youth who need assistance with paying for books for college. Interested youth should contact the YPC Life Skills Department at info@cgyonline.org or stop by any Saturday drop-in and ask for Justin Lemberg, Life Skills Coordinator.
