, on the Near West Side, to share information about real estate as a career and mentoring.
Abiodun Durojaye, Urban Alliance’s executive director, said early exposure to real estate industry skills and terminology helps students know what they want and don’t want in a career. Urban Alliance mentors ask youth about their post-high-school plan, and if they want to work in real estate, Urban Alliance begins the conversations with contacts to make that happen. Partnering companies get the first opportunity to hire interns at the conclusion of the program.
Jonathan Hill is an Urban Alliance alumnus from the Washington, D.C., area working at Chicago-based software development firm Relativity as a community engagement lead.

My daughter is in the industry. And this is the way it happens, it comes by mentoring and hand-holding.”
