Michelle, a former Miss Illinois will speak to our Club about the mission and fantastic work of SOS Children's Villages Illinois.
SOS Children’s Villages Illinois is a part of the largest, international child welfare agency in the work with over 500 villages in 132 countries. Our Villages in Lockport and Chicago are made up of homes with a full time foster parent and siblings that have been reunited after being taken from their families into foster care. For most of the children, these villages are their only hope of staying united with their siblings and keeping the security of a family unit instead of being separated into different shelters and foster homes. We are seeing great results with our model including a 100% graduation rate. Nationally, children in foster care average a 50% graduation rate so we are very proud of this statistic. This year, we had 8 high school graduates and 2 college graduates formerly in our programs. We offer a safe, secure home to babies through 18-yr olds along with continuing to support children from our programs after high school. For many children, this is the first permanent home they have ever had. We currently have 3 sites in Illinois and are building a fourth site with homes this year on the West side of Chicago.
