Chicago Allies for Youth Success

ChicagoAllies is a partnership of organizations who share a unified vision for increasing participation in quality expanded learning opportunities citywide so that all youth get the chance to go on and succeed in school and in life. ChicagoAllies partners receive services that help them:

• Track programs and participants to help them make more effective, data-driven decisions;

• Improve program quality with unified standards and timely, validated information on organizational practices; and

• Assess the cost-benefit ratio of their investments.

In addition to striving together toward a shared vision of youth success, participation in ChicagoAllies promises each organization the opportunity to position their unique contribution while helping them achieve greater efficiency at a lower cost than would be possible alone.

Our vision is that all Chicago youth who want or need quality expanded learning opportunities will have access to them; and all organizations responsible for supporting their success in school and life will strive together toward this unified vision. Our mission is to increase the access, reach and quality of all expanded learning opportunities in Chicago by supporting organizational and leadership development.
