The SBB Research Group Foundation Sponsors Automotive Mentoring Group

Automotive Mentoring Group collaborated in a volunteer initiative alongside the SBB Research Group Foundation, which partners with local nonprofits through its Champion A Charity Program.

The Automotive Mentoring Group (AMG) is an organization dedicated to ending gang violence and empowering individuals living in Chicago. AMG’s mission is to offer mentorship and teach lifelong skills in automotive repair, giving participants a tangible path to enter the automotive industry and improve their lives.

On December 23, 2024, volunteers from the SBB Research Group Foundation visited the AMG shop to assist in preparing the facility for the next group of participants. Through hands-on support, the volunteers helped clean and reorganize the shop to ensure a welcoming and functional environment for the individuals who will be learning vital skills in the new year.

“Volunteering at the AMG shop was a truly meaningful experience,” said Daniel Rieboldt, a dedicated volunteer for the SBB Research Group Foundation. “I had the opportunity to meet two young men currently in the program, alongside their mentor, who was teaching them how to shape sheet metal for a restoration project—a 1933 Packard convertible. It was inspiring to witness the skills being passed down, and I believe our efforts to reorganize the parts storage will have a lasting impact on the program.”
