Center for Changing Lives (CCL)’s vision is a community where everyone thrives. Too often, lack of resource and economic opportunity limit participants’ choices and capacity to achieve their goals and visions for their lives. CCL partners with those held back by lack of resource and economic opportunity in order to uncover possibilities, overcome barriers, and realize their potential in the form of partnership through coaching, training and skill-building, partnerships, and advocacy. CCL’s core services of financial, employment, and resource development coaching are supported by the time, skills, and dedication of volunteers.
In 2016, CCL launched a Two-Generation Financial Coaching program that provides workshops and 1-1 financial coaching for early childhood educators, parents/caretakers, and children ages 3-5. The Two-Generation model is based on research that points to the importance of working with two generations in a household to increase financial capacity and capabilities and bring a household out of poverty permanently. As part of this program, CCL created a Financial Advisory Committee of community members that has created a financial tool-kit for parents and educators to use with children to help build their financial literacy and capabilities.
CCL is looking for a volunteer with graphic design experience to help in the completion of this tool kit. There is about 20 hours left of work to complete this project. The volunteer would work with our FAC and primarily the Early Childhood Education Financial Coaching Coordinator to complete this project. This project must be completed by September 28th so we are seeking people immediately!

Mission Statement
Center for Changing Lives mission is to provide comprehensive support to serve, empower and advocate for community residents experiencing homelessness and housing instability so they may obtain and maintain permanent housing.
Description
Center for Changing Lives (CCL) is a little agency making a big impact. Successfully providing a range of innovative services, CCL brings financial coaching to a population traditionally deemed unprepared for it: Households currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The agency offers a mini-continuum of bundled services that include housing, financial and employment coaching coordinated and integrated with income support and homelessness prevention services. CCL is at the forefront of utilizing coaching and financial capability services to prevent and end homelessness, particularly among the predominantly Latino population on the Northwest side of Chicago. CCL believes integrated, comprehensive services delivered in a long-term, highly transformative, empowered partnership are needed to ensure households move beyond crisis to stability, from immediate considerations to future ones. That belief has informed a model that is both qualitatively and quantitatively successful and has resulted in increases in participants’ financial capability, income, and self-sufficiency.
CCL’s mission is to provide comprehensive support to serve, empower and advocate for community residents experiencing homelessness or housing instability so they may obtain and maintain permanent housing. The vision is to transform lives and inspire neighbors to build a stable, supported and connected community. Financial instability, including under- and unemployment, continues to be a leading reason why many of CCL’s clients are experiencing homelessness. In response, CCL utilizes the Center for Working Families (CWF) model to increase employment, mobilize subsidies and mainstream benefits, and reduce household fees and expenses simultaneously, taking a holistic approach to building financial stability necessary for long-term housing stability. CCL is unique in that it is the only organization using the CWF model to serve households, including single parents with children, experiencing and at-risk of homelessness who are living in shelters. By successfully utilizing this model with those experiencing homelessness, CCL is bridging the workforce, financial and homeless services systems and developing an evidence-based argument for using financial services to addresses housing instability.
