Our Mission
Support our mission by creating your own fundraiser.
Purpose
CYP is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health and life opportunities of at-risk children, ages 3-25, empowering each child to achieve long-term positive outcomes. Using a holistic approach that gives more educational support, more guidance, and more preventative healthcare, CYP creates long-term relationships within an intentional community. It is a program made by Chicagoans for Chicago families; we engage a cadre of over 500 skilled volunteers to staff our 40 programs. CYP currently provides programs in three communities, Near North/Cabrini Green, Washington Park, and Uptown.
CYP untilizes a unique approach, aimed at giving youth:
·More Educational Support:
Programs provide role models and one-on-one tutoring at all ages. This, in addition to arts and cultural activities, career guidance, a scholarship program, pre-school activities, Parent Club activities, recreational opportunities, and quality health care create a comprehensive and empowering environment for youth.
·More Guidance:
CYP enrolls youth as early as pre-school and provides programs to keep them engaged in activities throughout childhood and adolescence. It is through this deep, long term relationship that an intentional community is built. Volunteers, staff, and CYP Alumni create a space in which mentorship is a key ingredient to the success of all youth in programs. CYP monitors long-term outcomes on each participant including school completion, teen birth rates, criminal conviction, and placement into higher education. Volunteers are invited to make a commitment to long-term mentoring, building a relationship of trust in a space that encourages self esteem and long term career/future planning.
·More Preventative Healthcare:
CYP provides a free health clinic through Children’s Memorial Hospital and the Washington Park Children’s Free Health Clinic staffed by volunteer physicians and medical students from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. Preventative health classes on nutrition, exercise, making wise choices, and peer led health lessons are held throughout the curricula.
• More Fiscally Efficient:
CYP keeps overhead and administrative costs to a minimum by utilizing volunteers and donated space. CYP relies heavily on the skills and leadership of its volunteers to run effective programs. CYP has also never paid for program space aside from our community center in Washington Park which was built with 80% donations of time and materials. This ensures that all funds are channeled directly to programming.
