Our Mission
To build bridges to brighter futures for
Chicago’s children in need.
Who We Are
Glenwood School for Boys and Girls is a
community supported non-profit
organization that helps Chicago’s
disadvantaged children overcome difficult
family and community circumstances to
achieve a better life and future.
Who We Serve
With campuses in Glenwood and St.
Charles, Illinois, Glenwood annually serves
approximately 300 at-risk children, ages 7
to 17, whose lives and futures have been
threatened by family and community issues
such as death, divorce, drugs, gangs and
poverty. The children we serve come from
more than 60 communities in Chicago and
Northwest Indiana.
What We Offer Children
in Need
1. Individualized academic instruction
Glenwood’s students attend an on-campus
accredited school that provides small
classes and individualized learning
resources for students.
2. Caring, family-like community
During the week, children live in cottages
with houseparents dedicated to providing a
positive, nurturing and family-focused
environment.
3. Effective life-skills programs
Glenwood’s leadership and character
building programs meet the children’s
essential developmental and educational
needs, while helping them discover their
talents and interests.
4. Essential childhood needs
Glenwood fills a child’s basic needs – food,
clothing, housing, medical and dental care
– 24 hours a day, five days a week.
