Save to Favorites

Chicago Integrated Charities is currently seeking a volunteer proposal writer, to help with the following proposal listed below. If preferred volunteer can be invited to sit on board to help with future projects.

The core project components to be provided through the grants include: case management, mentoring, educational interventions, service-learning, occupational training in demand industries which lead to industry-recognized credentials, workforce activities that lead to employment, follow-up activities, and expungement and diversion. The expungement and diversion components will be provided through coordination with the juvenile justice system (JJS) and non-profit legal services organizations.

Sub-grantees must collaborate with the local components of the JJS to ensure court-involved youth receive referrals into programs as a means of diverting the youth’s juvenile charge(s), and collaborate with non-profit legal services organizations to provide legal services that assist program participants with expungement. To provide services to court-involved youth between the ages of 14 to 24 (17 to 24 preferred) that have been involved in the JJS and never convicted in the adult criminal system. Applicants may only submit one application in response to this solicitation.

Our goal is to receive help needed to bring this program to the community! Our budget is small and relies heavily on community donations and volunteers. Please help us to bring this much needed program to Chicago, and give youth the opportunity for something besides violence.
