Walter Mendenhall Inc is a nonprofit organization based in Skokie, IL, dedicated to empowering African American communities in Chicago. Through their Male Mogul Initiative, they provide entrepreneurial mentorship and training programs for young men of color, with a focus on the South and West sides of the city. Their programs aim to transform participants into business leaders and role models, fostering character development, academic excellence, workforce enhancement, and community empowerment.
Participants in the Male Mogul Initiative engage in a 16-week in-school course, where they improve their social-emotional aptitude and focus on personal growth. They then move on to a 12-week entrepreneurship program, where they receive support in developing legitimate business plans and ideas. During summer break, the program offers an opportunity for participants to apply their learnings by selling products, offering services, and operating the Mogul Store. Generosity from individuals and corporations allows Walter Mendenhall Inc to continue making a positive impact on the African American communities in Chicago.
