Mission Statement
Youth Guidance creates and implements school-based programs that enable children to overcome obstacles, focus on their education and, ultimately, to succeed in school and in life.
About This Cause
Since 1924, Youth Guidance has been serving children in Chicago. In 1969, through a partnership with Chicago Public Schools, Youth Guidance established its first full-time offices within public elementary and high schools, laying the foundation for today's comprehensive, innovative school-based initiatives designed and implemented by the agency. Youth Guidance sees a bright and successful future for every at-risk elementary and high school student in Chicago. Because we believe that success in school is not only possible, but should be achieved and celebrated, we are present in schools to facilitate an environment that engages students in the learning process – and through careful guidance – enables them to realize their full potential and graduate with a meaningful plan for successfully managing life. Youth Guidance is a leading provider of outcomes-driven, school-based programs and capacity-building initiatives, directly serving more than 8,000 youth each year, and touching the lives of more than 14,000 youth, parents, teachers and community members. Each Youth Guidance program has been strategically developed to address a community need that falls within one of three specific program delivery areas: Community & After-School, Counseling & Prevention, and Youth Workforce Development. Program activities include academic enrichment, mentorship, violence prevention, counseling and job readiness.
