The hours after the school day ends can be challenging for many families, leaving young people vulnerable to the negative consequence of gangs, drugs, violence and unhealthy choices. The School Age and Summer Adventure Day Camp programs instill positive values and enrich the lives of children aged three to thirteen, through a variety of amazing organized activities.

annual report 2011 Our Mission Northwestern Settlement nurtures, educates, and inspires children and families in need, empowering them to take personal responsibility and attain self-sufficiency. Since its founding in 1891 by Northwestern University, Northwestern Settlement has served the West Town community by offering wrap-around services that fit the holistic needs of our ‘neighbors’.
Our Vision At the Settlement, we believe that every person deserves the chance to reach his or her limitless potential, and that this is achieved through a “hand-up”, not a “handout”.
Our Approach Through more than 70 programs and partnerships that focus on social service, education, and the arts through our award-winning Adventure Stage Chicago theatre, Northwestern Settlement staff, volunteers and donors serve more than 38,000 neighbors each year. All programming is interwoven to provide a continuum of services and opportunities to our neighbors, with the focus on four key areas: 1. Immediate assistance for short-term crises 2. Knowledge, opportunities, and support to break the long-term cycle of poverty 3. Access to a rich network of additional programs and services 4. Continuing innovation that addresses changing community needs
