Mercy Home for Boys & Girls

Chicago, IL

www.mercyhome.org/

    • Mission

    Mercy Home offers youth who seek a new beginning hope and promise of a healthy and successful future, safety, respect and opportunities for growth.

    About Us

    Mercy Home for Boys and Girls provides hurting, abandoned, and neglected youth with the resources they have lacked: a safe place to live, clothing, education, medical care, and counseling. Mercy's youth also receive valuable life skills to prepare them to one day live independently, to find and keep gainful employment, to attend college in many cases, and to develop healthy relationships. Mercy Home also has a prevention program: The Friends First mentoring program, which matches trained adult volunteer mentors with at-risk children for one year.
