We’re thrilled to announce the Chicago Learning Exchange + Paragon Performance Evolution 2024-2025 Executive Leadership Program cohort! This group of 17 incredible leaders representing 9 different Chicago organizations working in out-of-school-time will convene for 4 months to build tools and capacity for enhancing self-reliance, stress management, and emotional self-regulation.

??Three cheers for the 2024 TSC Fellows! The TSC Fellows initiative is a ten-month training program supported by a $2,500 stipend for the establishment of new café programs across the nation. Fellows receive one-on-one support from TSC Network Guides to launch a café program at their site and host three café events during the program period, in addition to virtual cohort meetings and more. We look forward to seeing these sites blossom in the coming year! Congratulations to you all! To learn more about teen science cafés, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gCqznrEm.
