SGA helps children, families and communities facing great challenges to realize their potential.

Leading Positive Change

SGA Youth & Family Services leads positive change for children and families in Chicago's most challenged and underserved neighborhoods. The non-profit has provided free, comprehensive services since its founding in 1911. SGA believes that sustainable community change results from a focus on early childhood, educational support, parenting, and workforce development. Collaborative partnerships, innovative programs, and measurable outcomes fuel SGA’s efforts to replace the cycle of poverty with the Cycle of Opportunity®.

Learn more about how SGA is replacing the cycle of poverty with a Cycle of Opportunity® in our FY19 Annual Report .
