Mission and programs · 2024

• UNLEASHING YOUTH AND FAMILY POTENTIAL: HEAD START AND EARLY HEAD START EARLY HEAD START AND HEAD START PROGRAMS ARE THE BACKBONE OF A STRONG CHILDCARE ECOSYSTEM, ENSURING CHILDREN ARE READY FOR SCHOOL AND SUPPORTING PARENTS AT WORK OR IN THEIR BUSINESSES. YWCA METRO CHICAGO IS A KEY LEADER IN THIS EFFORT, PARTNERING WITH 19 COMMUNITY-BASED CHILDCARE PROVIDERS TO ENROLL 621 EARLY LEARNERS (458 IN HEAD START AND 163 IN EARLY HEAD START), TRANSFORMING THE LIFE TRAJECTORY OF THE NEXT GENERATION. OUR GOALS INCLUDE: CLOSING THE ENROLLMENT GAP: WE STRIVE TO CLOSE THE GAP IN ACCESS AND ENROLLMENT IN LAKE AND DUPAGE COUNTIES THROUGH COORDINATED, COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES. OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL CENTERS AND FAMILY CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AIM TO MEET THE NEEDS OF FAMILIES IN ACCESSIBLE CHILDCARE PROGRAMS. REACHING CHILD DEVELOPMENT GOALS: WE ENSURE CHILDREN MEET OR EXCEED DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS, INCLUDING IMAGINATION, EMOTIONS, CURIOSITY, AND INITIATIVE. CONNECTING CHILDREN TO HEALTH CARE: WE STRENGTHEN THE COORDINATION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND RESOURCES TO ENSURE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVE HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH, ORAL HEALTH, NUTRITION, AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THAT SUPPORT CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND SCHOOL READINESS. ENSURING QUALITY EDUCATION: WE ENSURE CHILDCARE PROVIDERS ADHERE TO BEST PRACTICES REGARDING COMPLIANCE, SAFETY, AND OVERALL DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. INCREASING FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND WELLBEING: WE FOCUS ON CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY RESPONSIVE RELATIONSHIP-BUILDING WITH KEY FAMILY MEMBERS IN A CHILD'S LIFE, INCLUDING PREGNANT WOMEN, EXPECTANT FAMILIES, MOTHERS, FATHERS, GRANDPARENTS, AND OTHER ADULT CAREGIVERS. WE HONOR AND SUPPORT PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE CENTRAL TO A CHILD'S HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT, SCHOOL READINESS, AND WELLBEING. WE ALSO OFFER HOLISTIC AND WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT TO PARENTS AND CARETAKERS, INCLUDING FOOD ASSISTANCE, MENTAL OR PHYSICAL HEALTHCARE, TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE, WORKFORCE TRAINING, OR REFERRALS TO OTHER AGENCIES TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATE NEEDS. UNLEASHING YOUTH AND FAMILY POTENTIAL: CHILD AND ADULT FOOD PROGRAMS THE CHILD AND ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM (CACFP), ALSO KNOWN AS THE "TUMMY NUTRITION PROGRAM," AT YWCA METROPOLITAN CHICAGO PROVIDES ESSENTIAL NUTRITION EDUCATION TO SUPPORT TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND CHILDREN IN MAKING HEALTHIER FOOD CHOICES. THROUGH CULTURALLY SENSITIVE AND ACCESSIBLE GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL TRAINING SESSIONS, TUMMY PROMOTES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO WELLNESS, FOCUSING ON MEAL PLANNING, PURCHASING, AND FOOD PREPARATION, WHILE ADDRESSING OBESITY PREVENTION. THE YWCA REIMBURSES CHILDCARE PROVIDERS FOR NUTRITIOUS MEALS SERVED TO LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME CHILDREN, SUPPLEMENTING THE INCOME OF THESE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. IN 2024, THE PROGRAM ENROLLED 2,109 CHILDREN THROUGH 219 PROVIDERS, DELIVERING NEARLY 1.3 MILLION NUTRITIOUS MEALS AND SNACKS OVER THE PAST YEAR. YWCA STAFF VISIT CHILD CARE CENTERS AND HOME-BASED PROVIDERS TO OFFER TRAINING IN COOKING AND NUTRITION SKILLS, ENSURING HEALTHY MEALS FOR CHILDREN. IN 2024, NEARLY 550 CENTER VISITS WERE CONDUCTED. HEALTHY EATING IS CRUCIAL FOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH, GROWTH, AND DEVELOPMENT, REDUCING THE RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASES LIKE HEART DISEASE, TYPE 2 DIABETES, OBESITY, AND CANCERS. POST-COVID-19, YWCA STAFF AND PARTNERS OBSERVED AN INCREASE IN BMIS AMONG HEAD START-ENROLLED CHILDREN. IN APRIL 2023, 35% OF THESE CHILDREN WERE IDENTIFIED AS OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE, HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING HEALTHY SNACKS AND MEALS AT CHILD CARE CENTERS, WHICH MAY BE THE ONLY NUTRITIOUS MEALS SOME CHILDREN RECEIVE.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
