Outreach Community Ministries program helps college-striving teens aim high
On a cold and rainy school night, 16-year-old Norberto Lopez and his tutor, Mark Tader, were reviewing the concept of transcendentalism at the Outreach Community Center in Carol Stream when they paused over an epigram written by Henry David Thoreau:
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
“Do you understand what that means?” Tader asked.
“You come up with an idea and then come up with a plan to make it happen,” Lopez replied.
The answer fit not just his history homework but also the program in which he was participating. Lopez, a sophomore at Wheaton North High School, is one of 22 high school students from underprivileged backgrounds aiming for higher education with the help of the college opportunity program offered by Outreach Community Ministries.
