Why We’re Unique We focus on prevention. Students come to Glenwood between the ages of 7 and 12, before serious problems interfere with their child development. Unlike other child welfare programs, our goal is to help our students achieve academic and developmental progress before returning them home when their family is ready for independence. We partner with parents. At Glenwood, we work closely with parents and guardians who are struggling to care and provide for their children by complementing their strengths, skills and resources. Glenwood helps the whole family by providing services for both boys and girls, while partnering with the parents to achieve a stable and positive environment allowing the children to return home every weekend. We are cost-effective. Glenwood must raise only $15,000 per year to provide life-changing programs for one child, which is significantly less than residential treatment centers or foster care programs that cost nearly $100,000 a year. We have a legacy of success. Since 1887, Glenwood has helped more than 18,000 at-risk children in Chicago accomplish their goals and dreams. Our Results Strong children. Glenwood’s unique and effective program gives children the tools they need to overcome the obstacles they have faced and one day become caring parents, dependable workers and responsible members of their communities. Strong families. Parents and guardians undergoing hardship have the chance to get back on their feet while their children are at Glenwood. Typically, within two to three years, parents have created a positive, healthy and stable environment that allows their children to return home. Strong communities. On a larger level, Glenwood has filled thousands of children and their families with hope and promise, allowing them to rise above generational poverty, drugs and violence. 13 About Glenwood
