By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

“when the war on drugs astating impact on with high rates of incarceration ing poverty. Getting Colle ge Prep, a selecti that drew students from ated oppor tunities and of what’s possible, she along with her experiences Foundation scholar and tor ney, infor med her her husband, Sam Ow own business, Law and the Fam.
The goal, Owens said, tems in order to push economic outcomes
They are currently focusing on the Le git Pathways program, which sets out to help young people in their 20s – who have been statistically the most likely to get ar rested for cannabis-related of fences – benefit from cannabis le g alization in Illinois. The eightweek program of fers three “pathways,” teaching fellows how to get jobs in the cannabis industry, how to star t their own cannabis-related business and how to continue their education.
The program operates out of Fulton Market District’s Industrious co-working space – a choice that Owens said she and her husband still struggle with. While they wanted to give back to their community, they decided that youth would benefit from expanded horizons the way Owens did.
Le git Pathways Academy is largely funded through a grant from Restore, Reinvest and Renew, a state grant program that provides funding for programs and initiatives that address the consequences of the “war on drugs.” The grants are funded from 25% of the cannabis tax revenue and can go toward programs that serve what the state defines as “high need R3 zones.” This includes all of the West Side except Galewood, most of the South Side and a few sections of Nor th and Nor thwest sides.
Owens said that her husband came from a similar background as she did – a firstgeneration lawyer who grew up in a Chicago neighborhood impacted by the war on drugs — and they were on the same page about what their priority should be
“We thought to ourselves — what if we could create a program that encouraged young people in our community to go into lawful careers through cannabis industry
and hemp industry?” she said. “Now that cannabis is le g al, there are many le g al careers our young people can be exposed to.”
The program is open to young adults ages 18 to 25 who live in R3 zones. Legit Pathways pays for their CTA transit cards and provides a stipend. Once selected, the youth can go into one of the three “pathways” — the career pathway, where youth are taught skills that they need “to be competitive in the job market,” the entrepreneur pathway for those looking to star t a business that is either directly or indirectly involved in cannabis. The third pathway is for those wishing to get into higher education but don’t know where to start.
“We help g et them identify pr ogr ams that are going to help them g et higher education skills to be c ompetitive,” Owens said.
Only some of the alumni who spoke to Austin Weekly News said they used what they lear ned to get into the cannabis-related field – but even the ones that didn’t said that what they lear ned helped their careers.
Ty’Nya Larry, of Englewood, said that she gained appreciation for the impor tance of market research. Ar mani Colston said that he lear ned the impor tance of building connections and time management.
“We had to treat it like it’s a job and schoolwork,” he said. “It bettered you at the end.”
Emily Mendoza, of West Englewood, said
that her biggest takeaway was lear ning how to read and understand laws Gabrielle Marion, who is interested in becoming an online content creator, said that for her, it was “lear ning the elevator pitch, and leaning to figure out a way put forth my accomplishments and my goals, and what I have done, in a very concise summary.”
Owens said that they call the participants “fellows” because she read studies that show wording matters. The label helps their self-esteem and looks good on a resume.
“Young people in this city are often called troublemakers, and those things can be inter nalized,” she said. “What we said as part of the design of our project is that you’re a fellow, which makes you a part of the distinguished career track. And just [when we say it] — you should see their faces.”
Owens also said that she and her husband are “very intentional about who we do business with, because we want everybody in our community to feel welcome.”
“When we go visit a place [where we want to do business], we do not dress like lawyers, in the sense of what people think lawyers should look like,” she said.
“And I gotta tell you — it tells you a lot. There are places like this in affluent neighborhoods that we said no to. We chose places where people at this place treat people treat us with dignity and respect, and whether they know they’re lawyers or not.”

Legit Pathways Academy co-founder S.L. Owens at Fulton Market District’s Industrious co-working space
why the 4 are nominated for the Brother Mike Award, named after Chance the Rapper ’s mentor
By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter
Four mentors who lead youth in Chicago’s West Side were nominated for this year’s “Brother Mike Awards” sponsored by two organizations, including one founded by Grammy-award-winning musician Chance the Rapper, who grew up in Chicago.
T he annual award by Chicago L earning Exchange and Social Wo rk s, C hance the Rapper’s nonprofit, reco gnizes Chicago mentors who embody the ideals that the late Mi ke Hawkins, known as “Brother Mike” embodied, and honors leaders wh o wo rk outside of schools or homes. C hanc e the Rapper and others such as p oet and rapper NoName credit Brother Mi ke for guiding them in their youth to transfor m their live s.
“The truth is we learn by example...we have to be the example,” poet, rapper and mentor PHENOM said at the awards ceremony Sept. 19.
For the 2023 Brother Mike Awards, 36 youth leaders citywide were nominated to three prestigious $5,000 no-strings-attached cash awards. Three mentors – Arinique Allen, Maricela Ramire z and l o t i Walker, won. Yet, all nominees are “winners,” Grammy-award winning artist Rhymefest said at the ceremony. Like Chance the Rapper, the Chicago artist, mentor and songwriter, gives credit to his mentor, Donda
West for guiding him towards a path that kept him “of f the streets,” gang culture and violence.
“As mentors, you’re fighting a system that’s been programmed in young people,” he said.
Around the West Side, four nominees
— Elaine Marthel, Jesus Her nandez Jr., Marqueisha R. Grant and Alina Her nande z- create safe havens for youth in their neighborhoods despite systemic challenges. Many see youth go through the same experiences they faced. Some want to create opportunities and spaces they wish existed for their young selves. All know that building relationships with young people is key to preventing them from engaging – or being victims – of violence.
Becoming a mentor on the West Side
Elaine Marthel, an educator and mentor better known as Coach “M,” leads out-of-school mentoring programs in North Lawndale. She has coached Franklin Park’s baseball team for Westside Sports and mentored kids citywide. In 2020, she founded Project Impact 180 to reach local youth and help them develop life skills they need, encouraging responsibility and accountability. Last year, 34 kids participated in the nonprofit’s development program.
From the ar ts field, Jesus Hernandez Jr. took his own experience organizing open mics in a Little Village high school to continue to create a platform for youth expression. After school, he joined the ranks of nonprofit Enlace to bring after-school programs where about 100 young people could “enjoy themselves and feel like they belong.” Eventually, that led him to be one of the lead organizers of the neighborhood festival Villapalooza, where two dozen young people participate, perform and express themselves.
Out of Garfield Park, Marqueisha R. Grant continues a family tradition by serving as a program assistant for youth services at Marillac St. Vincent. Her grandmother worked there and growing up, Grant found it to be “a safe haven for people like me, who grew up in a rough neighborhood with a lot of gun violence.” The space serves near 120 kids and young people through their after-
school programs
Alina Hernandez guides youth from the boxing ring. Once a participant of the Chicago Youth Boxing Club, Hernandez is now a boxing coach for the after-school and other youth programs, serving nearly 50 kids weekly. She tries to be the person she wishes she had more of when she was a kid, she said. Besides teaching boxing, she listens to them and is there for them when they face issues.
Accountability and trust
Relationships are the basis for eng aging youth, all mentors said. In different ways, every mentor becomes family to their youth: someone they can count on, listens to them, and accepts them.
“I talk with a lot of kids that are in gangs, a lot of them say they join gangs so they can feel like they belong,” Marthel said. Some of the young people she works with have been involved with the justice system, but the relationships she builds lead to a sense of accountability and trust. Instead of telling them what to do, “there is someone to hold them to the line and ask if that was the best decision [for them]”
Hernandez, who became a mom at 18, said working with kids from different ages and backgrounds has led her to understand why it’s so important to be patient and understanding.
“A lot of people are ready to take kids to the curb when they’re not listening or misbehaving. I try to sit down and understand what’s going on,” she said.
For Hernandez Jr., Villapalooza offers a community and support system for youth. After high school, he enrolled into college but soon dropped out because he didn’t have the “support to be successful,” he said.
“I wanted to give youth a reason to come to school,” he said. “Villapalooza might have been that for me.”
Walking and talking it
Knowingly or unknowingly, young people continuously teach their mentors to be courageous, resilient, patient and joyful, the mentors said.
“These kids are super, super resilient and they don’t even have to be,” Grant said, adding they get up and try again.
Marthel said the youth have taught her to be fearless. Earlier this year, Marthel overcame her fear of water and joined youth in summer activities after they asked her to be fearless, just like she asks them to be. “We have to model what we say to them ...We’ re not just talking it, but we’re walking it.

MIGRANTS Seeking education
from page 1
teacher speaks English or Spanish, she said she did not know, but she enjoys going to school and hanging out with her friends. She also enjoys eating lunch at school – panquecitos (Spanish for little muf fin), arepas and apples are some of the foods she has, she said.
Taking her kids to school every mor ning is a relief for her mother, Marlene
She traveled thousands of miles from her native Vene zuela just so her two daughters could have access to education, she said in Spanish.
“I want them to study, there [in Vene zuela] they couldn’t,” she said, explaining the country’s dire political and economic situation has left schools severely underfunded and understaf fed.
Marlene and her husband completed the month-long from the South American country to reach the United States. In itself, it is a challenging and expensive journey — even more complicated when traveling with children, she said. They did not plan to come to Chicago, but were bussed after being admitted into the country at the Texas border. For nearly a month, they have sheltered at the 15th District police station on Madison. As the family awaits to complete their immigration process, the parents said they desperately want to receive their work permit so they can af ford a home of their own.
In the meantime, volunteers from the Police Station Response Team helped Marlene and other asylum-seekers enroll their children into nearby Chicago Public Schools. As more families ar rive, they will continue to enroll children into local schools. Other asylum-seekers who have settled in the nearby communities of Forest Park and Oak Park have also enrolled their children in local schools
Federal and state laws guarantee access to all children in the United States to public elementary and secondary schools, re gardless of their immigration or citiz enship status. The Illinois State Board of Education’s enrollment guidance also states that school districts must refrain from collecting information about a child or parent immigration status during the enrollment process. This means children can attend public schools while their immigration cases are resolved.
Local schools follow these laws and
recommendations when enrolling newly ar rived students who live in their school coverage area. As many of them live in shelters, they may also qualify to be enrolled following each school district’s process for children and youth experiencing homelessness.
Chicago Public Schools “is continuing to enroll students at or near schools, parks, hotels, police stations, and the district’s pilot Welcome Center located at Rober to Clemente High School,” said a CPS spokesperson in a statement. CPS will continue to work with school leaders and staf f “to ensure students in temporary living situations (STLS), including many new arrival students, are able to immediately enroll in school and be gin accessing resources.”
In the last school year, CPS enrolled about 5,300 English lear ner students, of ficials said. Because the district does not track students’ country of origin, it is not possible to know how many students are asylum-seekers from Vene zuela or other Latin American countries.
Veronica Acuna, a volunteer for the Police Station Response Team, said she
helped near 15 children sheltered at the 15th District police station enroll into Chicago Public Schools. Acuna, who works as an educator, walked to the nearby elementary school Oscar DePriest with parents and children to help them enroll. The school’s staf f and leadership have been welcoming and provided some resources like backpacks, she said. Though the school does not have a dual language education program, some staf f speak Spanish, she said. CPS of ficials said all Austin schools provide a Transitional Program of Instruction and eight schools provide Transitional Bilingual Education.
Children and youth can immediately enroll into school even if they lack “health, immunization, or school records, proof of guardianship, proof of residency, or any other documentation nor mally required for school enrollment,” CPS of ficials said. The city’s school system works with the Illinois State Board of Education, Illinois De par tment of Human Services, and the De par tment of Family Support Services at Shelters to suppor t student enrollment in schools near hotels or shelters.
To complete required immunizations and physical examinations for asylumseekers, Loyola University volunteers visited the 15th District police station. The younger children have more easily inte grated into local schools, though it is a “little harder” for some older children, Acuna said.
This school year, Oak Park Elementary School District 97 re gistered 21 new immig rant students who come from countries like Colombia, Vene zuela, Russia and Ukraine, district of ficials said. Last year, the district had 79 immig rant students Immig rant students are students ages 3 to 21, who were not born in the United States, D.C. or Puer to Rico and have attended U.S. schools for less than three full academic years. When re gistering in person, the district of fers translation and inter pretation services if needed.
Forest Park School District 91 schools have also welcomed a small number of immig rant students this school year, though the district does not have records of how many, said Director of Engagement Nurys Uceta-Ramos
