To many of the kids in Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood, Yahtzeni “Zeni” Gonzalez has been a mentor, a sister, even a mother figure as manager of the neighborhood council’s Leaders of Tomorrow Program. Spurred to action by her grandmother’s generosity and her brother’s murder, Gonzalez helps youth aspire to go to college and “see more than just the neighborhood.”
