New Light Through Old WindowsA Message From The Chairman and President

What a powerful way to think about our past, and how even as we transform, we remain indelibly linked to our founding values. It shows in the way our work evolves; the way our programs grow; and the way our leadership brings both traditional memory and fresh perspectives. We stand shoulder to shoulder in a concerted commitment to empower our neighbors to achieve self-sufficiency.

As Glenn Dalhart, our previous Chairman of the Board, passes the torch to our new Chairman, Robert Best, we see the connection. Bob brings 15 years experience on the Board to his “new” position, tasked with continuing Glenn’s great legacy, as well as establishing new directions and priorities. Even with change, our core remains intact - we continue to nurture, educate and inspire.

And the ‘We’ is all of us; our staff, volunteers, Board and Auxiliary Board members, and partners, from the largest institutions, to our donors who make annual gifts. No better example exists than Rowe Elementary School.

With Rowe, it is no exaggeration to say, “We did it”. Without the monumental collaboration of individuals, corporations and foundations – like John and Jeanne Rowe, the folks at Bain & Company, Exelon Corporation, the Walton Family Foundation and many others - our scholars would not have opened the school year in our historic “new” building. The daunting task of renovating and resurrecting a 19th century school building to meet the needs of

tomorrow’s leaders is quintessential Settlement. Education at Rowe is innovative and leading-edge, as groundbreaking now as the lending library or kindergarten classes were when established by the Settlement in the 1890s.

And under Bob’s leadership, we envision Rowe’s amazing momentum snowballing to impact all Settlement programming. Our School Age program will offer after-school services to Rowe scholars. A computer lab will serve the school and the broader West Town community, addressing the “digital divide” that plagues underprivileged areas. Rowe third graders will experience nature and learning at House In The Wood, and arts education through Adventure Stage Chicago. Our Head Start program will continue to prepare children for kindergarten, and guide many to enroll at Rowe, even as our Emergency Services program and Food Pantry provide much needed assistance and holistic, “wrap-around” services to Rowe families and our other neighbors.

And as our programs revitalize and replenish, old windows become new ones; like the ones now brightening classrooms at Rowe, or the ones donated to the Settlement by our Evanston Woman’s Board members to commemorate their 100th Anniversary – the present and the past always intertwined. Northwestern Settlement’s window truly has two perspectives: an inward-looking view at where we’ve been, all we’ve accomplished and the people who helped us; and a view outward, towards the promise of possibilities.

Robert J. BestChairman of the Board Ron Manderschied

President

3Annual Report 2010

NurturesNorthwestern University Settlement Association (Northwestern Settlement) nurtures, educates, and inspires children and families in need to take personal responsibility and attain self-sufficiency. Since its founding in 1891, Northwestern Settlement has served the community by offering programming to fit the holistic needs of our clients (referred to as ‘neighbors’). All Settlement programs are interwoven to provide a continuum of services and opportunities to families in the West Town community, with the focus on four key areas:

• Assistance to impact immediate short-term crises

• Knowledge, opportunities, and support to break the long-term cycle of poverty

• Access to a rich network of additional programs and services

• Innovation that addresses community challenges to create change


EducationRowe Elementary School“Helping children who don’t have many advantages to reach their full potential is an incredibly powerful mission. Being a part of Rowe Elementary School has given me the chance to utilize my private sector leadership skills and experience to create an unparalleled learning environment for children who can truly benefit from that opportunity.”

– Julie Coffman, Settlement Board Member and Partner at Bain & Company

Rowe Elementary School, the newest Settlement endeavor, served 152 students (referred to as ‘scholars’) during 2009 – 10 school year, from kindergarten through second-grade. Rowe’s mission is to prepare all scholars for college from inception, while cultivating the expectation of a successful college career. The Settlement has now begun to fully integrate programs such as Adventure Stage Chicago, the School Age program, AmeriCorps, Head Start, Emergency Services, and House In The Wood into the school.

Rowe had an extremely successful first year. At the beginning of the 2009-10 school year, 92% of all Rowe scholars were below grade level in literacy. By the end of the year, 81% of all scholars were at or above grade level in literacy, many of them second-graders who were one to two years behind at the start of the year. In math, achievements were just as outstanding. On average, scholars mastered 91.8% of their grade level’s math standards.

At the end of the year, a survey indicated that 98% of parents would recommend Rowe to other families, and 100% believed that Rowe was preparing their scholars for success in college. Going in to the 2010-11 school year, Rowe has 96% retention, higher than the area average of 93%.

Rowe Elementary School is extremely excited to announce that the 2010-11 school years is fully enrolled with 256 scholars and will open at Rowe’s new home – the historic building on the

Lozano school campus just a few blocks away from the Settlement. This West Town home will help Rowe’s ultimate goal of serving 600 kindergarten through eighth-grade scholars by 2014.

Rowe’s success would not have been possible without the tremendous support of our partner organizations. The Rowe Family and Exelon Corporation have provided ongoing financial and operational strength to the school.

The Chicago-based Renaissance Schools Fund and Bain & Company have provided intensive research on national best practices for education and curriculum, and continue to provide insight and philanthropic resources.

The unwavering passion, support, and energy committed by John, Jeanne and Bill Rowe, as well as Julie Coffman and numerous Bain & Company employees, is truly shaping Rowe Elementary School to assume its future place among the city’s finest elementary schools.

In addition, many of our partners contributed a great number of hours to our school by volunteering their time and energy. Led by service minded individuals and groups, including Jeanne Rowe, Bain & Company, the Winnetka Board, North Shore Board, staff of Northwestern Settlement, and parents and family members of Rowe scholars, volunteers provided more than 842 hours of service to Rowe in fiscal year 2010.

“I find that volunteering gives me a wonderful opportunity to form relationships with the scholars in addition to working with them in areas where they may need some additional help. I truly look forward to seeing them each week, and am so proud of the progress I watch them make throughout the school year.”

– Jeanne Rowe, Rowe Elementary School Donor and Volunteer

5Annual Report 2010

Head Start“Children are on their way to exploring who they are. By the end of the year, children have developed more of a sense of self and initiative, cooperating with each other and enjoying longer projects.”

- Laura Schriesheim M.Ed., MSW, LCSW Head Start Consultant and Virginia Frank

Childcare Center Social Worker

The Settlement’s Head Start program provides comprehensive child development services to children aged three to five and their families. Special focus on helping preschoolers develop the early reading and math skills needed to be successful in school, while providing family prevention services, including medical screening and parenting courses. Dedicated to enhancing adolescent development, empowering families and strengthening communities, Head Start teachers and aides promote school readiness by treating each child as an individual, in an inclusive community that values, respects, and responds to diversity. In order to become more engaged in their child’s learning, parents are encouraged to volunteer their time and participate in personal development activities. In fiscal year 2010, Head Start served 77 children.

AmeriCorps Project YES!“My time with Project YES! has helped to shape what “service” means to me. I have been able to take my skills, talents and resources and utilize them to better the West Town community and the families that live here.”

- Ashley Mauter, AmeriCorps Member

Project YES! (Youth, Education, Service) recruits college graduates from across the country for a year of community service, providing classroom support, after school programming, and volunteer initiatives. This program reflects the very roots of the Settlement, which when first established in 1891, recruited college students and faculty from Northwestern University to work with West Town neighbors in addressing problems. This service is continued today, through Corps member’s positive mentorship and fostering relationships based on trust and respect with the community members they serve.

Project YES! provides a structure that promotes growth and self-motivation, empowering Settlement neighbors to embrace self-sufficiency and community responsibility. In fiscal year 2010, Project Yes! placed 40 AmeriCorps members in six schools and two community organizations.


YouthSchool Age Program“[One of the issues] the School Age Program addresses, is the issue of childhood obesity and poor nutrition, [this is done] by promoting a culture of wellness, both within its own walls and in the greater West Town community - sending the message that living a healthy lifestyle is achievable.”

- Lauren Kreig, Bright Promises Foundation

Far too many Illinois children are on their own after school – many become victims of truancy, drug use, gang activity and violence. The Settlement’s School Age Program serves 140+ low-income, minority children and is offered year-round - 3.5 hours a day during the school year, and 7.5 hours a day during the summer. Several components make up the School Age Program, including: After School Program, Extended Day, and Doorway to Knowledge. In addition to these daily activities, School Age Program also offers field trips, residential camping at House In The Wood, library visits, holiday parties, and live shows at Adventure Stage Chicago.

The School Age Program’s expectations are to:

• Support children by fostering a caring environment

• Facilitate healthy boundaries

• Provide structured use of time

• Model and teach a commitment to education

• Instill positive values and grow social competence

House In The Wood“Thank you so much for helping me come to camp. I learned how to swim and be a team with my cabin mates. I learned new songs and games and we had good food to eat. It’s so fun! Now I can go back to school, be happy and tell all my friends that I had a great summer! I have a lot of good memories because of you.”

- Leronica (Age 11), House In The Wood camper

In 1910, Boy Scout Troop 11 and Northwestern University Resident Chester Spies camped along the Des Plains River (at Irving Park Road) with the help of local farmers – the encampment was named House In The Wood. As House In The Wood its 100th Anniversary, we are reminded of the camp’s continued legacy and commitment to each camper, their family, and the Chicagoland community.

Today, opportunities for children in underserved communities to experience residential camping are dwindling. Affordable camps that serve low-income, inner city children have always been rare. Now, due to rising costs and the tough economy, camps are closing around the country in record numbers, yet House In the Wood remains strong and vital due to the commitment of our boards and sponsors.

House In The Wood, on 26-acres in Lake Delavan, Wisconsin, provides campers with positive year round alternatives to often negative urban lifestyles, within the context of an outdoor, nature experience. Through individual and group activities, campers improve self-confidence, develop teamwork and conflict resolution skills, learn about other cultures and customs, learn about healthy and hygiene and develop new and positive ways to express themselves. In fiscal year 2010, House In The Wood served more than 1,300 campers and community group members from across Chicagoland.

7Annual Report 2010

Camp VIDA“This trip gave me perspective on the lives that others lead and the injustices that far too many people my age have to face. Knowing that I helped one family gave me a sense of purpose and motivation. I value what I took home from Camp VIDA: thankfulness and a stronger desire to help others, especially children.”

—Carli Alvarado, Camp VIDA participant

Camp VIDA is the Settlement’s intensive, two-week community service and environmental education summer camp. Camp VIDA provides Chicago teens with the opportunity to volunteer and experience the benefits of the great outdoors at environmentally, culturally and historically significant places across the United States.

Since its founding in 2007, more than 50 Camp VIDA participants have provided over 1,750 hours of volunteer service in some of our nation’s premier national parks, including Acadia National Park in Maine, Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park, and Yosemite National Park in California.

This summer, after almost six months of preparation, 14 Camp VIDA students partnered with Habitat for Humanity - an international organization that builds affordable housing in challenged areas. After spending a week volunteering in South Dakota’s Black Hills, students traveled to the Rosebud Indian Reservation, where they helped build a home for a low-income Lakota family. In addition to providing a valuable service to others and helping protect our environment, Camp VIDA volunteers develop leadership, teamwork, and problem solving skills. Pushing their personal limits, volunteers move beyond their comfort zones and open their eyes to a whole new world of possibilities beyond the inner city of Chicago.


CommunityEmergency Services Program“What particularly impresses me with the [Emergency Services Program] is the attention to the ‘small’ needs, and the way they are met with an eye to preserving self-esteem.”

- Holly Sunshine, Evanston Woman’s Board Member

Through a variety of programs, Emergency Services Program helps West Town neighbors with short-term crises, while providing them resources for long-term success. Programs include the Food Pantry and weekly food redistribution day; direct assistance for immediate needs; financial assistance for rent, utilities, and medical needs; crisis counseling; referrals; and holiday assistance. This past year, Emergency Services experienced more than 28,000 visits, distributing almost 400,000 pounds of food.

In order to continue to help our neighbors during these tough economic times, the Food Pantry extended its hours to include an after-work shift to help accommodate all families’ schedules.

English as a Second Language“The teacher is patient with me and makes it easy for me to learn English. As I acquire new language skills, I feel that I have a better chance to improve at work and in my community”

- Gustavo Torres, ESL Student

There are few barriers to success as formidable as language. The inability to speak, read, write, or understand limits one’s ability to obtain an education, find a job, access social services, connect with one’s neighbors, and more. The Settlement’s English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are taught in partnership with City Colleges of Chicago. Classes help Eastern European and Latino members of Chicago’s West Town community overcome language barriers by teaching students the basic English grammar and conversation skills needed to be self-sufficient. The program is another example of the Settlement’s commitment to helping its neighbors help themselves.

Golden Agers“Playing BINGO with Golden Agers on Friday is often the highlight of my week. The members have a great sense of humor which is evident in their playful responses to each number that is called, such as the number 65 representing “Medicare” because that is the age you qualify for it.”

- Micaela Moran, AmeriCorps Project Manager

Although many Settlement programs focus on children, the Settlement assists community members of all ages. Our Golden Agers Program, for example, provides seniors the opportunity to socialize and form friendships with other neighbors. Seniors meet once a week to participate in BINGO, field trips, holiday meals and other services. Emergency Services also assists with utility expenses, referrals and supplemental food supplies.

9Annual Report 2010

Adventure Stage Chicago“Each year, the world becomes increasingly complex, so it becomes more and more critical that we engage the imaginations of young people. If they can look on stage and identify with the hero, they can begin to value themselves as agents of change.”

- Tom Arvetis, Producing Artistic Director, Adventure Stage Chicago

Adventure Stage Chicago (ASC) creates dynamic and transformative theatre for young audiences; theatre that activates the imagination, inspires dialogue and strengthens community among families, educators and artists. In striving to become Chicago’s premier destination for theatrical productions, with programming designed for young people aged eight to 14 and the adults in their lives, Adventure Stage Chicago is one of the few local companies providing award-winning theatre to this age group. Other local theatres focus on pre-school or high school aged students; ASC is filling an important and rich niche.

Adventure Stage Chicago’s primary artistic purpose is to present imaginative, dynamic live performances that respect the curiosity, imagination, talent, and intellect of young audience members. Through Education Matinees during the week (where classroom guides and pre/post production talk-backs enhance performances), and Family Matinees on the weekends, the Adventure Stage Chicago production season provides quality, age-appropriate arts experiences. Last year, ASC produced an adaptation of Lois Lowry’s Gossamer and The Ghosts of Treasure Island.

In addition to matinees, ASC also offers Neighborhood Bridges - a comprehensive arts-based initiative of storytelling and creative drama, designed to help children develop critical literacy skills that transform them into the storytellers of their own lives. Neighborhood Bridges uses professional artists to provide up to 30 hours of in-classroom programming to third through eighth grade public school children from primarily low-income schools.

In fiscal year 2010, more than 32,000 community members utilized ASC’s Vittum Theater, including 9,000 through Education Matinees and 1,800 through Family Matinees. Twelve classrooms in seven schools participated in Neighborhood Bridges, providing 230 hours of residency to 345 students.

Arts

Chicago Community Trust Art Gallery“Our experience collaborating with the CCT Gallery has been extremely rewarding. So many people are intimidated by the prices and “vibe” they receive in most galleries. It’s very important to show work to as many people as possible, and there’s a comfortable and relaxed feeling you get when viewing paintings in alternative spaces like the CCT.”

- Kieran McGonnell, CCT Gallery Artist

The Chicago Community Trust (CCT) Art Gallery presents four exhibits each year - three are juried shows that showcase the work of local professional artists, and the fourth, Youth Visions, which displays the artistic creations of school children within the community. The Gallery is located on the first floor of the Settlement’s Evanston Hall, where the public is invited to enjoy displays of paintings, textiles, sculpture and photography. More than 200 guests visited the gallery in fiscal year 2010.


InspiresAuxiliary Board“I believe in the Settlement and the work it accomplishes, through a shared philosophy of providing our neighbors with a ‘hand up’ rather than ‘hand out.’ The Evanston Woman’s Board has long invested in the physical structure of the Settlement, including the purchase of Evanston Hall, helping with the new roof and other projects. Our board felt it was fitting to raise the money to replace the windows in the building on the occasion of our 100th Anniversary as a Board.”

- Peggy Barr, Evanston Woman’s Board President

There are currently six Auxiliary Boards at Northwestern Settlement. With memberships totaling nearly 300 active members, Auxiliary Boards form the fabric of the Settlement’s long history and provide essential support through organizing major fundraising events.

• The Evanston Woman’s Board was formed in 1909; the group raises funds through its annual Dollar Letter appeal, and supports the Settlement through its endowment

• The Winnetka Board was formed in 1923 and organizes Style Under the Stars, a September event featuring current fashions from North Shore boutiques

• The North Shore Board was formed 1936, and sponsors the Glitter Ball, a black-tie dinner event and auction held in the fall at the Four Seasons Chicago

• The Associates Board was formed in 1950 and supports numerous Settlement programs and activities

• The Park Ridge Board was formed in 1989 and hosts the Cherub Brunch and Silent Auction in December

• The Chicago Board was formed in 2004 and hosts the Spring for the Settlement cocktail party in April

In addition to events, Auxiliary members adopt families during the holidays; chaperone School Age Program and Golden Agers field trips; run a Mother’s Day gift shop for Head Start and After School children; volunteer at Rowe Elementary School; and much more.

This year, the Evanston Woman’s Board celebrated their 100th Anniversary. Their “birthday gift” to the Settlement was replacing all the historic windows in the main building. This capital investment was sorely needed and will allow the Settlement to reduce heating and cooling costs significantly. In addition to being energy efficient, the new windows also helped enhance the Settlement’s Chicago Landmark status, as they are architecturally accurate. The members of the Evanston Woman’s Board have been an integral part of Northwestern Settlement. Their dedicated and often critical support is invaluable.

11Annual Report 2010

“I am so happy the Settlement is still going strong and helping people. I have been a Settlement member for over 50 years, and have received so much from the Settlement family and have such trust in the organization, that we continue to stay connected year after year.”

Our Mission

Northwestern Settlement nurtures, educates, and inspires children and families in need, to take personal responsibility and attain self-sufficiency. Since its founding in 1891 by

Northwestern University, Northwestern Settlement has served the West Town community by offering “wrap-around” services that fit the holistic needs of those we serve (our ‘neighbors’).

Our Vision

At the Settlement, we believe that every person deserves the chance to reach his or her limitless potential, and that this is achieved through a “hand-up”, not a “hand-out”.

Our Approach

Through more than 70 different programs and services, Northwestern Settlement staff and volunteers serve over 8,500 neighbors each year through social service and educational

programming, and 30,000 more through the award-winning theatre Adventure Stage Chicago.

All programming is interwoven to provide a continuum of services and opportunities to our neighbors, with the focus on three key areas:

Immediate assistance for short-term crises Knowledge, opportunities, and support to break the long-term cycle of poverty

Access to a rich network of additional programs and services
