ChildServ - Helps Chicagoland's At-Risk Children and Their Families Build, Achieve and Sustain Better Lives

We put kids and their families first.

ChildServ's mission is to help Chicagoland's at-risk children and their families build, achieve and sustain better lives.

ChildServ is a highly experienced, multidisciplinary child and family services network that reaches children and families facing adversity in the Illinois counties of Cook, Lake and DuPage. We focus on providing in-depth, community-based programs to underserved children and their families, foster parents and other caregivers.

Our comprehensive, individually tailored programs deliver immediate intervention, protection or shelter when needed, and provide longer-term guidance and support to help children grow into healthy and thriving adults. Founded in 1894, we continue to work with families, communities and legislators on child advocacy issues. ChildServ brings about change that helps children to build, achieve and sustain better lives.
