Center for Changing Lives (CCL)’s vision is a community where everyone thrives. Too often, lack of resource and economic opportunity limit people’s choices and capacity to achieve their goals and visions. CCL partners with those held back by lack of resource and economic opportunity to uncover possibilities, overcome barriers, and realize their potential in the form of partnership through coaching, training and educating, skill-building, and advocacy. CCL’s core services of financial, employment, and resource development coaching are supported by the time, skills, and dedication of volunteers.
CCL offers Computer User Support and Administrative Skills Training Programs as part of the employment coaching program. These programs are Bridges-to-Careers programs designed to support participants in setting and achieving their financial, training, and career goals in IT and Administration pathways. Participants receive a comprehensive coaching-led approach that puts the participant first and works through financial capacity building, career readiness, foundational digital literacy skills, and continued support as they complete the course and obtain certifications and employment.
As a Bridges-to-Careers program, members in these programs complete TABE and Digital Literacy assessments prior to and post programming and work on reading, math computation, and applied math skills while in the classroom. These fundamental skills support members with larger concepts as they continue on to their career paths.
CCL is seeking volunteers to support students with ABE (Adult Basic Education) in the classroom. The goal is to provide support to members in the IT or Administrative Skills training program and to raise their ABE scores by at least 1 grade level.
We are seeking volunteers who can commit to working with students at least 2 hours per week on Reading, Math Computations, and/or Applied Math up to an 11th grade level. We are seeking volunteers who can be here at least once per week between 10am-2pm and who feel comfortable tutoring this material and building relationships with adults.

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.
