S A C R I F I C E • C O M M I T M E N T • V I C TO R Y In chess, a gambit is an opening strategy involving sacrifice. It’s risky. So it demands commitment to get the win. Not so surprising that riders talk about cycling as “chess on wheels”, eh? Cycling is about more than going fast. It’s a sport for thinkers. Racing is about preparation as much as execution; a core strategy is key. Take this opportunity to deliver on your potential as a rider. The first move is on you. And the first month is on us.

gambit cycle coaching Branding, Marketing & Copywriting We call cycling “chess on wheels”, and for those who know chess, a gambit is a high-risk, high-reward set of moves. The parallels between bike racing are evident to those who train and race seriously. gambitcoaching.com

Featuring the knight and rook and the “flamme rouge”, the warning flag riders see at one kilometer before the finish line, this brand taps into (and celebrates) the eccentricites and culture of bike racing. Of course, there’s no better billboard for coaching services than a cycling jersey, especially when seen on a rider atop the podium.

mignonette bridal Logotype Design + Brand Look/Feel Though Mignonette didn’t need a complete brand suite, we knew that the brand needed to let the product shine. This fashionable selection of wedding couture and design was already getting media attention in the blogosphere but needed an elegant update to the blog’s visuals and storefront. With a simple and cost-effective Wordpress solution for this brand-new business, as well as logotype, cards, and a store window treatment, Mignonette has launched off into years of success with a brand that augments the talents of its owner, but never distracts.

A core business concept—an iconic one, really—is ROI. That’s return on investment, the way business pros value investments of all kinds: Time. Money. Even relationships. At the UAB School of Business, we attract high-achieving students from diverse backgrounds. Top-tier faculty eager to connect with students lead our programs. We’ve produced the state’s leading CPA exam scorers for nearly a decade, the nation’s best Industrial Distribution scholar twice in the past five years, and an international collegiate Top 20 American Marketing Association chapter (which, we don’t mind saying, happens to be the most popular club on campus).

Introducing

New hope for Chicago teens. NaTiONal Safe PlaCe

Safe Place is a national youth outreach program that involves the whole community by creating a network of Safe Place sites. Sites include youth friendly businesses, libraries, nonprofit organizations, and other appropriate public buildings that display the yellow and black Safe Place logo.

Safe Place sites extend the doors of youth service agencies throughout the community allowing youth to access help wherever they are.

ChiCaGO Safe PlaCe The goal of Chicago Safe Place is to promote youth safety through: • access to resources to prevent disengagement from families.

hOW Safe PlaCe WOrKS When a youth enters a Safe Place location and asks for help, a trained site worker will call the Safe Place toll free number which will connect the young person to a crisis worker.

For additional assistance in your community:

Once the worker has established where the youth is and the current situation, they will come meet with the young person to determine the best steps moving forward.

ChiCaGO lOCaTiONS Youth Network Council is currently working with two youth service agencies: alternatives, inc. and Westside Youth Network, inc. within the illinois Comprehensive Community Based Youth Service (CCBYS) system. Safe Place is currently operating in many Chicago neighborhoods (see map on inside panel). The hope is to expand beyond these areas to cover more of Chicago.

chicago safe place Bilingual brochures, palm cards, and website Safe Place signs exist all around the country as a symbol of security and refuge to youth who can’t go home. I worked with Youth Network Council in Chicago to make this brand into a Chicago-specific mark, built around the existing Safe Place brand. It was as challenging as it was fast-paced. A robust suite of print materials, as well as a youth-friendly one=page website with a unique auto-call Click-for-Help button on every page, provided many consistent touchpoints. The site was also a resource for businesses who wanted to become a Safe Place site.

Neighborhood Bikeways Campaign year in review

Choosing the best routes for biking

By Jim Merrell

by Maggie Daly

In 2013, Active Trans’ Neighborhood Bikeways Campaign mobilized thousands of people across the city to make our vision of a 100-mile network of protected bike lanes by 2015 a

U P D A T E

reality. No matter if you’ve been biking, walking, driving or taking transit, it’s been hard to miss the progress our campaign has made this year. The city now boasts nearly 17 miles of protected bike lanes that physically separate people riding bikes from motorized traffic. That’s double the amount we had just one year ago. For buffered bike lanes, which use street markings to create extra space between bikes and cars, the numbers are even more impressive: The total mileage quadrupled in one year to more than 31 miles and another 15 miles are slated to go in as soon as weather permits.

Does your train station need a makeover? Complete Stations is on the job! PAGE 6

People around the nation are taking notice of these new, exciting developments. Recently, the national advocacy group People for Bikes named the Dearborn Street protected bike lane the best protected bike lane in the nation and the new Milwaukee Avenue bike lane was given seventh place on the same list. Building these nextgeneration bike lanes is essential to bringing biking into the mainstream and reaping the many health, environmental and economic benefits these simple machines can bring to our complex society. Put another way: Better bike lanes means more people riding bikes, and more people riding bikes can help us save the world. The 12,000 people who joined Active Trans’ Neighborhood Bikeways Campaign agree.

When the new Milwaukee Avenue bike lane was proposed, thousands of people sent messages of support to aldermen and city hall, dozens of advocates turned out to a public meeting in support of the plan, and business champions took to the city’s newspapers to hail the economic boost the new infrastructure would provide.The area surrounding the new protected bike lane on Vincennes Avenue from 85th Street to 103rd was notorious for speeding motorists, which made the street dangerous for people riding bikes and people walking to and from local churches and schools. The Neighborhood Bikeways Campaign joined Friends of the Major Taylor Trail to host a community workshop to solicit input from residents on trouble spots and needed improvements. Efforts like these are accomplishing more than just building new bike lanes. We’re building a powerful grassroots movement capable of making big changes happen. This growing power became more evident this year when the Illinois Department of Transportation reversed its ban on protected bike lanes on state-controlled roadways. How do big changes like this happen? The state of Illinois didn’t suddenly awake one morning and change its position. Thousands of letters and persistent pressure from community members and business leaders led to the announcement. And now the state will pilot a protected bike lane on Clybourn Avenue, marking the first time a project like this is targeted for a state-controlled roadway. These shared victories don’t signal that the end of our work is near — far from it. In order to meet our goal of 100 miles of protected bike lanes by 2015, we’re going to need to get even more done next year than we did this year. And with the recent transition in the city’s transportation leadership and a municipal election looming, we can’t take anything for granted. So strap on your helmet, steel your resolve and let’s ride on to victory.

Jim Merrell is a campaigns manager at Active Trans.

Ever taken a wrong turn on your bike and end up making your trip twice as long? If this has happened to you, you know the advantages of planning your bike route in advance. For people new to the world of cycling, the first point to know about route planning is that the best bike route may not be the most direct route. While your trip may end up a little longer, the additional time and distance is a worthwhile tradeoff for a safer, more enjoyable ride. Still, to design your route, you’ll want to start with the most direct route. Then make adjustments to avoid the busiest roads; look for parallel side streets with less traffic. Look for streets with bike lanes and enough room to ride outside of the “door zone” when riding alongside parallel parked cars. Look for routes that allow you to cross busy streets at traffic lights. If you’re forced to use a road with heavy traffic, make it brief and stay on the shoulder. If you can, consider riding on residential streets when starting out, even if they take you a bit out of the way. In the suburbs, finding direct and safe routes may require more creativity and flexibility. When confronted with high speed limits on suburban roads or when you encounter subdivision streets that wind around to a dead end, you need a detailed route plan and perhaps a backup plan. Bike lanes are spreading to more suburbs, but these vary in quality and connectedness in between communities. Often, suburban bike paths are a great option during good weather. If the path is covered in water or snow, you may want to have a backup plan.

Finding your way Whether you’re cycling in the city, suburbs or in rural areas, a good map is an invaluable resource. Active Trans’ 2013 Chicagoland Bike Map is better than ever, featuring more trail and bike route connections: activetrans.org/chicagoland-bike-map-6th-ed The City of Chicago publishes a great map for getting around neighborhoods: chicagobikes.org/bikemaps/ In the suburbs, municipality websites often provide maps of the bike-friendly infrastructure in town The Illinois Department of Transportation has regional maps for the entire state: dot.il.gov/bikemap/state3.html

Connect with others Chicagoland bicyclists are fortunate to have unique resources for bicycling information. TheChainlink.org forums: Connect with other cyclists about their routes. Chicago Bike Buddies: Get a bike mentor who can ride with you and show you safe routes.

Mobile apps Google.com/maps offers bike directions option. Goroo.com: A multimodal trip planner from RTA, which allows for preferences for train, bus, driving to transit, bicycling and walking. Chicago Bike Guide app by Steven Vance: Allows you to design your own route, get a suggested route or discover new roads or trails to get there. Ride the City: Bike map app that includes Divvy stations bike paths, and bike shops.

A Letter from Our Board Chairman and CEO

Studies show that the first five years of a child’s life are a critical period in their growth; 85 percent of their intellect, personality, and social skills are developed during this time. Children at risk of not receiving this support during this stage are likely to begin school already behind academically, a trend that can hamper a child throughout their education.

n behalf of the staff and board of Chicago Youth Centers (CYC), we thank you for helping make 2010 a year full of growth, proud achievements, and abundant, positive energy emanating from youth discovering and realizing their potential. A recent study published by the National Academy of Sciences showed that neighborhood violence has a negative impact on the academic and social development of not only victims, but all youth living in the neighborhood. The children we serve live in communities where the threat of violence is just around the corner, and resources such as positive role models are scarce or nonexistent. Our efforts to provide safe havens, emotional and educational support, and mentoring to these young people are more important now than ever.

These stories and more are found within the pages of this report. As we look forward, we will continue to increase efficiency while remaining effective during these challenging economic times, and our accomplishments In 2010, CYC worked with more than 5,400 this past year are proof we are on the right youth, parents, and guardians through a path. Again, we thank you for your continued combination of core programs from early support and for sharing our belief that all childhood to and through college. children deserve the respect, social benefits, and access to resources to be able to grow, Building Community With this in mind, CYC’s Early Childhood Education program offers laugh, live, realize, and discover their dreams. educational, social, nutritional, mental health, and disabilities services for children in our neighborhoods, aged 3–5. In 2010, CYC served 1,005 youth through our Head Start, Pre-K, and Pre-School programs. After a nutrition assessment revealed a high range of obesity among Top: Steven E.

Our mentoring programs grew significantly this year, with the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program experiencing a 300 percent increase in the last two years. Another new mentoring program in the South Shore community has been such a success that the youth have begun mentoring elementary school youth themselves. Without these programs providing consistent role models and building self-esteem, we would not have graduated 100 percent of our seniors or supported more than 80 CYC alums in college through our Teen Leadership Development and College and Career Readiness programs.

In spring, our Rebecca K. Crown, Dorothy Gautreaux, and Roseland centers were selected by policy research organization MDRC to implement its Head Start CARES program, designed to improve the social and emotional development of children in Head Start classrooms. To date, more than 325 youth have been supported with healthy, emotional, and behavioral development, which will have a lasting influence on their chances for success in school and beyond.

Our Mission and Vision

Embedded in Chicago’s neighborhoods where numerous barriers make success in life a difficult endeavor, we help our youth build the academic, social, and emotional competencies and achievements needed to be successful, offering programs from early childhood education to and through college.

As the African proverb states, “It takes a village to raise a child.” With this in mind, we collaborate with schools, universities, churches, and other social service agencies to serve our youth, their families, and their communities. Volunteers expand the scope and enhance the quality of our progress.

With programs that provide welcome environments, academic support, access to resources, and adult role models, CYC utilizes a Positive Youth Development (PYD) model, a research-based approach to building youth’s assets. PYD focuses on 40 key areas to develop children’s skills and strengths— such as school engagement, responsibility, self-esteem, and positive family communication. The more assets developed, the less likely youth are to engage in high-risk behaviors. In 2010, CYC served more than 5,400 youth, parents, and guardians.

In program year 2010, CYC enlisted nearly 900 volunteers who provided more than 83,000 hours of service.

Hometown Huddle In October, through a partnership with NFL Charities, the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, and the Chicago Bears, the Hometown Huddle was held at our Elliott Donnelley Youth Center (EDYC) in Bronzeville. This event was designed to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity for children through the NFL’s Play 60 initiative.

CYC’s School-Age Child Development program provides activities to kids aged 6–12, including full days of care on out-of-school days. The program provides a safe environment for group activities with an emphasis on academic success, making good choices, and expanding one’s horizons. CYC continually encourages parents to be actively involved; in 2010, a generous grant from the Department of Justice enhanced after-school programs by providing focused family engagement. Partnering with Parental Information Resource Center (PIRC), CYC has hired part-time Family Engagement Specialists to create family-friendly services and activities that increase communication between CYC, parents and their youth.

In 2010, our School-Age Child Development programs served 847 youth.

After-school programs are a proven method of combating this issue; a recent study found that regular participation in high-quality after-school programs is linked to significant gains in standardized test scores and work habits as well as reductions in behavior problems among disadvantaged students.

Sixty CYC kids participated with Chicago Bears players in filming the NFL’s new Play 60 commercial. A grant from NFL Charities, Bears Care, the charitable beneficiary of the Chicago Bears, and the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago also provided financial support and equipment for a new playground at EDYC.

When a bike corral is installed in the space normally occupied by one car, the space can yield ten times more customer visits every day.

When parking is hasslefree, customers visit more often, they are in a better mood, and parking turnover occurs more quickly.

A study of businesses in Portland, Oregon found that while motorists tend to purchase more in a visit, cyclists are loyal customers, visiting regularly and spending more monthly.

COMMUNITY GROWTH

BREATHE EASIER

PEOPLE HAVE ROOM TO WALK

Bike corrals increase the visibility of bicycling as a transportation choice and show that a business community is “bike friendly”—that it cares about its customers who ride bicycles.

When installed adjacent to sidewalk cafes, corrals provide an additional buffer between people and passing vehicles. And when installed near crosswalks, corrals can shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians.

Bike corrals make the walking environment more welcoming by removing bicycles that are often parked on sidewalks.
