AMENS Group Inc is an Oak Park based 501c3 non-profit seeking to support, youth, their families and aligned institutions to address issues impeding Oak Park youth from realizing and achieving academic and social success within D97 and D200 public school systems.
We intend to engage in critical community decision-making processes and policy formation activity that bare on and influence productive growth of youth in the Oak Park community. We aim to participate in deliberations where policy has been historically formulated, and enacted without, and devoid of male African American perspectives and voices. We mean to promote, and foster accountability, from Oak Park institutions related to the educational, and social success of youth in the Oak Park Community.
Initially named AMENS Mentoring Group, AMENS Group Inc, is made up of Oak Park professional men who for nearly three decades have been in service to the Oak Park community. The group members cover a spectrum of occupations including law, teaching, health care, faith-based community development, the arts, and sciences. From one-to-one mentoring, the organization transitioned into broad based support of teacher in classrooms, to consulting with recreation administrators rergarding unmet needs of community.
