Where the work happens
Mentoring & Youth Development
In 2024, Focus Fairies Mentoring continued to deepen the impact of its core youth development work through intentional, relationship-centered mentoring. Across our school and community sites, girls participated in both 1:1 mentoring and group sessions designed to strengthen confidence, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills.
Bee Girls
In 2024, Focus Fairies Mentoring proudly served 57 high schoolaged girls across the South and West Sides of Chicago through our BEE-Girl initiative. Program sites included but not limited to, Marshall, Art in Motion, and Bogan High School.
Whimsical Wonder and Wishes
The Whimsical Wonders and Wishes (WWW) program reached 140 elementary-age girls across schools such as Daniel Webster, Mason, and Sumner Elementary in North Lawndale. The curriculum promoted social-emotional learning, character-building, and self-expression through play-based learning.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
