Bethel New Life
| Description | Bethel’s mission is to realize God’s vision of a restored society by empowering individuals, strengthening families, and building neighborhoods through community-driven, solution-oriented, and value-centered approaches.
The Next Steps Re-Entry Program offers a free multi-dimensional re-entry program to give formerly incarcerated people the resources they need to get back on their feet. Our program offers one-on-one mentoring, job training, and intensive case management, which includes attention to anger management, substance abuse, job readiness, and financial literacy. |
| Intake Process | All walk-ins are welcome– they come to the reception area and fill out an intake form, and after we’ve checked their name against the system we set up an appointment with that person to fully inform him/her about the program. |
| Referral Process | We get referrals from parole agents, pastors, and DHS. Upon arrival, there is a general questionnaire that participants fill out. When that’s completed we check the system to make sure they’re still on parole. Once verified, we set up a date for them to come in and fill out the paperwork. |
| Other | To be eligible for our next steps program – 1) You need to be on parole or probation. 2) You have to be within the first year of release. 2) You can’t have a sexual offense. |
BUILD Chicago
For over 45 years, BUILD has worked in some of Chicago’s toughest neighborhoods to stem the violence that takes away the positive potential – and, far too often, the very lives – of our youth. In 1969, BUILD started working with fewer than 200 gang-affiliated teens in one neighborhood and today BUILD serves nearly 3,000 youth annually, offering targeted services to enhance our impact in four priority communities – Austin, East Garfield Park, Humboldt Park and Logan Square – while continuing to provide support in other Chicago neighborhoods and throughout Cook County.
BUILD’s programs are designed to meet both the immediate problem of preventing at-risk youth from joining gangs as well as working with gang-involved youth to develop alternatives to this destructive lifestyle. Our service population also includes youth who have come in contact with the justice system to prevent and/or provide alternatives to detention and assist with successful re-entry into their communities.
The Cara Program
We know that we cannot solve the problems of homelessness and poverty alone, so we partner with a wide range of organizations to serve those in need. The Cara Program collaborates with more than 100 community organizations to identify and enroll individuals who will benefit the most from our services. After years of working with this population, we have established admissions criteria to best recognize those who are ready to take the necessary steps to transform their lives. Candidates must be motivated, complete a phone screening, attend a one-on-one interview, pass a drug test, and be clean and sober. We train referral partners, such as Mercy Housing Lakefront, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, Haymarket Center, St. Martin de Porres and many others, to recognize suitable candidates for The Cara Program. The Cara Program is also a member of the 741 Collaborative, a partnership of Chicago-based not-for-profit agencies dedicated to a cooperative workforce development and job placement services model. Together, with all of our partners, we provide wrap around services that are effective and efficient.
Center for Advancing Domestice Peace
Center for Advancing Domestic Peace, Inc (CADP) is a 501(c)(3) corporation continuing the work begun in 1996 by the West Side Domestic Abuse Project to provide partner abuse intervention services withinthe City of Chicago. Under the leadership of its co-founders, Dr. Christine Call and Dr. Charlie Stoops, the Project incorporated in 2003 with the mission to end domestic abuse through comprehensive, culturally responsive direct service, community education and outreach, and research. The Center currently serves up to 150 participants in ten intervention groups at any one time in three Chicago neighborhoods: Tri-Taylor,
Englewood, and Back-of-the-Yards, Center for Advancing Domestic Peace provided services to 326 men and women in Fiscal Year 2014 (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014). Notable statistics from FY 2014 include the percentage of participants who are unemployed (61%) and the percentage who have children (82%).
CADP seeks to provide effective interventions that promote changes in beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors and teach healthy relationship skills that can help program participants end their violence and foster safety for women, children, and men in their homes and communities. CADP continues its work to develop strategies that encourage program participants who are nearing completion to initiate prevention activities
in their communities. CADP understands domestic violence and community violence economically depletes communities decreasing resources for life-enhancing activities. The Center’s goal is to provide services and community outreach that support both individual and societal change.
