Urban Prep Academies

A host of men showed up on Aug. 24th, CPS official first day of school, to celebrate the black and brown beautiful young Men of Urban Prep Academy on it’s 3rd Day of attendance showing up Early...which is on time for these brothers. The men stayed and were able to witness the daily ritual of Community and show that they too BELIEVE. Thanks to the Men of Antioch Baptist Church, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and Urban Prep Academy Alumni for showing UP.

As a steadfast supporter of Urban Prep Academies, you know the life-changing impact our schools have had on thousands of Black and Brown young men in Chicago. You’ve seen the results: 100% of our seniors admitted to four-year colleges and universities for 16 consecutive years, despite overwhelming challenges. But today, Urban Prep is facing a financial emergency that threatens our ability to continue this critical work. Please take a moment to read this letter (https://bit.ly/BeatTheFreezeUP) from our Chief Academic Officer & Interim CEO Dr. Dennis Lacewell and consider making a donation today during this critical time. Whether it’s $100, $1,000, $10,000 or more anything will help to ensure that Urban Prep continues to UPlift, educate and empower Black and Brown boys in our city.
