We at Children’s Place Association know that you want to be involved and support organizations that can show the positive impact they’ve had on the lives of others.
Since 1991, we have served Chicago-area Children & Parents Struggling with Health Issues & Poverty. Many of our children have gone on to lead rich, satisfying lives, and are even compelled to support us in doing our work.
We track objective measures for the work we do. We research the best practices for interventions–combining those with onsite experience, ethics and client preferences to guide the delivery of our services. Then, we use methods to evaluate our effectiveness and the outcome for our clients. By collecting data*, we’re able to monitor and improve our performance, the quality and the effectiveness of the services we provide.

Challenges & Research
Children who face the dual challenges of illness and poverty are less likely to grow into accomplished students, successful workers and engaged citizens.
