Child Welfare Services seek to ensure the safety and well-being of youth and their families. We strive to keep families together by providing support and education to those at risk of separation. When it is not safe for kids to remain in their biological homes, we connect each to a caring foster family able to meet their needs, as well as the life skills training they need to transition to adulthood. Specific services include:
- Traditional Foster Care
- Specialized Foster Care
- Intact Family Services
- Extended Family Support
- Transitional Living Programs
- Independent Living Programs
- Runaway & Homeless Street Outreach
- Transitions Program

Being a kid is tough. Being a kid without a family is even tougher. Sadly, there are hundreds of foster kids in Chicago in need of just that – individuals to love and care for them.
Youth Outreach Services is seeking foster parents willing to provide loving homes for these kids. Many are victims of abuse and crises, and they need a stable home in which they can thrive.
For more information, contact Youth Outreach Services at 773.777.7112.
