Center for Changing Lives

Center for Changing Lives (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 a Business Support Services Training Programs as part of the employment coaching program. This program is designed to support participants in setting and achieving their financial, training, and career goals in the Administration pathway. 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 go on for certifications and obtain employment

Members in these programs complete TABE and Digital Literacy pre-and-post assessments 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 their career paths. CCL is seeking volunteers to support students with ABE (Adult Basic Education) Math in the classroom. The goal is to provide support to members in this program and to raise their ABE scores by at least 1 grade level.

CCL is seeking a volunteer who can commit to working with students at least 2 hours per week on applied math and computation (e.g. pre-algebra, algebra, and basic geometry at the 6th grade level). We are seeking volunteers who can be here at least once per week between 10am-2pm on Monday or Wednesday and who feel comfortable tutoring this material and building relationships with adults. The volunteer must be able to commit for at least ten weeks, or the course of one program.

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.
