The club’s founder, Joseph Williams, told FOX 32 Chicago about the group's ultimate goal.
"You have parents that still had to work and take care of other things, and it was just great that they know that they can send their kids somewhere that they can make a positive impact and again be exposed to a lot of opportunities. I think that's the ultimate goal of our organization," Williams said.
Volunteer opportunities with the group are posted on its website.
