I Am We
I Am We is a mission driven organization that believes it is through our stories that we ?nd commonality, inspiration and knowledge. Through these stories we are reminded that we are not alone.
Storytelling is powerful, it is the oldest art of man and it allows us to:
- Connect
- Learn
- Contribute to the greater society
We believe storytelling brings people and communities together by helping us understand ourselves and each other. Through understanding we can build more meaningful communal, inter-generational and multicultural relationships that will enrich both our communities and the greater society.
Chicago Rehab Network
Housing, like health care and education, is critical for family and community success. Healthy communities need safe, decent, affordable housing so that residents can hold jobs, pursue schooling, raise families, and live stable lives.

The Chicago Rehab Network (CRN) is a citywide coalition of neighborhood and community based development organizations founded in 1977 by community groups seeking to pool expertise and share information. The coalition membership consists of over 40 housing organizations representing over 60 city neighborhoods.
For 30 years, the Chicago Rehab Network (CRN) has worked to further the development and preservation of safe affordable housing in Chicago, and throughout the state of Illinois. CRN builds capacity of community developers through training and technical assistance, conducts research to measure needs and clarify challenges to affordable housing development, and advocates for sound housing policy on the city, state and federal level.
Elevate Energy
Our Mission: Help people do more with less energy
We design and implement efficiency programs that lower costs, protect the environment, and ensure the benefits of energy efficiency reach those who need them most. This “triple bottom line” approach—and the holistic solutions that result—makes us unique.
Walking the Walk
We’re all about smarter energy use for all, including ourselves.
- Our first office was a 1920’s weaving factory, which we renovated to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Platinum status in 2005, making it the second building in Chicago to achieve this level of designation. Our affiliate CNT still resides there.
- Our second office space had a large paved lot that we tore up to create a rain garden that reduced runoff and created an oasis alongside our busy, gritty street.
- We’ve won the citywide Bike to Work Week Challenge for 10 years in a row.
- We recycle our paper, plastic, and glass, sure, but we even recycle our food scraps—which are extra tasty to our vermicomposting worms.
- We were a top-10 finisher in the 2013 Chicago Green Office Challenge.

Fellowship Connection, Inc. is a nonprofit organization located in the heart of Paseo Boricua, the center of Puerto Rican culture in the city of Chicago. Since 1990, we have been working with children, youth, and adults of the Humboldt Park and nearby communities.
Our scope of services includes addressing issues that are affecting them as a whole; from gang related problems, a high-percentage of deaths related to gun violence, teen pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse, high drop-out rates among other problems. Fellowship Connection(FC) has outstripped socioeconomic barriers through the provision of youth and adult prevention services, out of school time programs, and technical training in communications and performing arts. Our mission is to consistently provide children/youth and their families with high quality services that sustain, support, and enhance their ability to thrive.
“We help break socioeconomic barriers through the provision of youth and adult prevention services.”
Fellowship Connection provides both advocacy and direct services to families in need. FC works closely with neighboring agencies, schools, private and governmental funders to ensure that necessary services are provided without duplicative or redundant service delivery.
Fellowship Connection’s Sustainable Model for Families provides continuity of care for each family member and reaches out to schools, neighborhood agencies, public funders, law enforcement, and social service providers to engage in a holistic plan for each family member. We use innovative, measurable outcomes to address systemic problems like street violence, failure in academic learning, parenting shortfalls, lack of work, and anger management.
Association House
We understand the challenges in our community. Health care, family, education, employment; trying to find the time and guidance to address every part of life can seem impossible. Association House makes it possible, all in one place — a place where the staff speaks your language and helps you meet your goals by providing wrap-around services for social, educational, and health programs. We offer our community a unique blend of services, and do it with a warm, family-like atmosphere.
Most of our services are at no cost to the participant. We provide services to meet immediate and long-term goals. Our professionals are available to refer those in need to our programs or make outside referrals.
We are fully bilingual. Serving a multicultural community means providing multilingual personnel; 70% of our staff speaks Spanish.
We help the whole family. We serve every demographic and age group, from children and young adults to working parents and older persons.
Since 1899, Association House has worked with Chicagoans who seek tools to lead more productive lives. It is one of the oldest “settlement houses” in Chicago originally designed to provide relief and guidance to new immigrants. Today, Association House is a vital resource to under-served, multicultural communities, providing collaborative programs in English and Spanish. We promote health and wellness, educational advancement, and economic empowerment. With a staff of over 200 professionals, Association House impacts the lives of nearly 20,000 children, individuals and families each year in the neighborhoods of Humboldt Park, West Town, Logan Square, Avondale, Hermosa, and beyond. We both address immediate needs and plan for long-term goals with services such as:
Community Services include career-oriented education and training, employment programs, and emergency services.
Child Welfare provides prevention and intervention, and finds loving homes for children through guardianship and adoption.
Behavioral Health offers prevention, treatment and education for children, youth and adults facing emotional and mental health issues.
Prevention & Educational Development addresses the persistent physical, social, and emotional well-being needs in the community.
