Purpose
The purpose of the Youth Ready Chicago Community Councils will be to further the work of the Regional Coordinating Councils by engaging and analysis of the regional data and developing a response that develops and supports a regional and citywide network of youth services throughout Chicago.
The Community Council will act as conduits in this system: linking community to DFSS and other city programming, reaching out to alderman and actively participating in developing a plan that will engage and develop a more comprehensive and coordinated safety net for children and youth in need throughout Chicago.
Program Goals & Expectations
o Develop a Community Council
o Ensure a joint community planning process effort to develop a community plan.
o Serve as an Information and Referral Hub for the Region
o Aldermanic Engagement: Meet with area alderman on a bi-annual basis to discuss community events, updates and areas of concern.
o Plan & implement an annual Back to School Event/Afterschool Enrollment Campaign in conjunction with community council agencies.
o Participate in meetings with other Community Councils and other City sponsored regional efforts.
o Work Collaboratively with DFSS.
What’s in it for me?
o Provide a voice in a regional planning process
o Assist in identifying service gaps and community needs
o Receive relevant up to date regional date through Chapin Hall
o Connections to resources that your Agency may not provide
o Peer Support
o Early Access grants and resources the City provides
o Direct access to DFSS staff and other City Departments
o Opportunities to promote services/events your agency provides
o Identification of regional training, capacity building and technical support needs
o Identify opportunities for collaborations/partnerships with regional agencies and other community stakeholders
