Henry Williams Love Foundation (HWLF) was established to provide short-term supportive services, programs, and projects to youth and families in need. Henry lost both of his parents at a very young age and has always demonstrated the greatest capacity for love for those who experience such unplanned loss or unexpected needs. The Henry Williams Love Foundation, in keeping with the values of his life, hopes to be a blessing to many for years to come.

The Foundation currently offer three poetry programs (Modge Podge Poetry, Homeroom Poetry, and Eye Recite) under our arts appreciation focus aimed with bringing art to places and spaces that typically get ignored. HWLF is searching for two new Poetry Life Coaches to provide community-based poetry and creative arts workshops across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. These workshops can occur during the school/work day, after school, or on weekends.

Poetry Life Coaches are 1099 contractors for HWLF and compensated twice monthly through online invoicing. These positions are not eligible for fringe benefits offered by HWLF and are not employees of HWLF, therefore are not subject to any withholdings including unemployment benefits. All Poetry Life Coaches receive a mandatory paid four (4) hour orientation training and must complete the State of Illinois online mandated reported training.

Please complete this form if interested in the position and HWLF will get back to you in early February. Positions start in March 2020.
