Together as Sertoma Star Services, the commitment to delivering comprehensive services, choices, and opportunities to those we support in an environment that promotes self-advocacy and personal success remains constant and impactful. Sertoma Star Services serves over 1,500 consumers and has five locations in Illinois - Alsip, Chicago Heights, Crete, and Matteson and an office in Merrillville, Indiana.
