ASM Alum Semaj Thomas grew up in Englewood and participated in Gloria Hafer’s Advanced Culinary program with his brother Darrius. Both teens found a mentor and mother figure in Gloria and fell in love with the culinary arts. These programs empowered Semaj to try the restaurant world and he has worked his way up to become an acclaimed pastry chef at NoMi Chicago at the Park Hyatt.
More than 200,000 people, like Semaj have participated in an After School Matters or Gallery 37 program since 1991. Alumni of our programs have gone on to achieve great academic and professional success.
Update your contact information so we can share newsletters, events, and exciting initiatives with you!
Say thanks to the program that made a difference in your life by making a gift. Every dollar matters.
