At SOS Children's Villages Illinois, we help children whose world has been turned upside down by parental abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We offer them a place to call home and space to heal. By keeping brothers and sisters together, with a full time professional foster parent in an individual home, we rebuild a loving family life.
SOS programs and services are designed to give vulnerable children the resources, knowledge, and experiences they need to become healthy, thriving adults. These programs guide children toward wise choices for better health, social skills, education, and career options.
SOS Villages are a positive environment designed to help children reach their full potential. Clusters of individual homes share recreational facilities and administrative offices, creating a true sense of community. But the real strength of the Village lies in the collective power of foster parents, staff, and the surrounding community to help children find new hope and trust. With a stable home, caring siblings, and a loving foster parent, the children can have happy childhoods and grow into caring, responsible, self-supporting adults.
