Services
Community services vary by site and are developed in response to local needs and resources.
Family stabilization services include counseling, case management, youth-in-crisis intervention and older adult services.
Youth development services include after-school and summer academic programs (1st-12th grade), tutoring, mentoring (ages 11-17), college prep and scholarships.
In addition, Outreach offers transitional housing, job training and community development.
Social Enterprises
Outreach’s social enterprises represent the best in Kingdom stewardship. They focus on recycling or re-purposing material resources received as donations, resold at a fair price to generate support for Outreach’s local ministries. Resale centers include:
- Jubilee Furniture (Carol Stream)
- Discoveries Resale (Warrenville)
- Jubilee Cars
- Twice is Nice (Carol Stream, operated by College Church)
