Über uns
The mission of Children’s Place Association is building a secure and hopeful today so children facing health issues and poverty succeed tomorrow. We transform the lives of children in the very worst circumstances – those confronting illness and extreme poverty – helping them overcome challenges and lead their best lives. Children’s Place Association was opened in 1991 to help children affected by HIV/AIDS. We developed innovative programs to address the many challenges faced by low-income children and families coping with the illness. Over time, Children’s Place Association expanded its influence, applying our approach to help children and families facing other health challenges. Today we serve more than 350 Chicago-area children and caregivers annually, and our international program helps 330 children in the Caribbean. We’ve opened our doors to help children and families who struggle with a wide variety of conditions and disabilities. These include cancer, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, heart conditions, autism and spina bifida. Some children have developmental disabilities or delays. Others suffer the physical and emotional effects of abuse or neglect. And we continue our strong commitment to those affected by HIV/AIDS. While medical advancements have nearly eliminated transmission of HIV from mothers to newborns in the U.S., thousands of children are impacted by their parents’ HIV-related conditions. Children’s Place remains the Chicago area’s leading provider of children’s services for families living with HIV/AIDS. Besides health challenges, the common link among all those we serve is extreme poverty. Children’s Place Association targets these interrelated issues in order to break the cycle of poverty and illness. We believe children everywhere should have the chance to lead their best lives. This is the value upon which Children’s Place was founded – and one that continues to guide us.

☀️ Lincoln Park Adventures: As part of our Thrive summer camp programming, our Thrivers spent a beautiful sunny day at Lincoln Park Commons. Field trips like this are so important—they give kids the chance to explore the city, learn new things, and connect with the world around them 🏙️. At the zoo, they discovered all sorts of amazing animals 🦁🦒, and afterward, they burned off some energy at the playground, swinging and sliding to their hearts' content. Safe to say, they went home happily tired 😴! #chicagokids #cpachicagokids #CPAkids #childthrive #positiveimpact #communitysupport #communitystrong #communityimpact #communitypartners #partnerships

🌟 Meet Billie Patterson, our newest addition to the Junior Board! 🌟 Billie is a medical student at The University of Queensland Medical School - Ochsner. Her commitment to addressing healthcare inequities and supporting underserved youth aligns perfectly with the mission of Children’s Place Association. 🌈 Why did Billie join the Junior Board? "Supporting Children’s Place Association is deeply meaningful to me because it directly aligns with my passion for addressing healthcare inequities and supporting underserved youth. The CPA Junior Board is truly unique due to the diverse range of professional backgrounds represented among its members. I love hearing a variety of perspectives from fellow junior board members as we collaborate on different projects.” 💫 If Billie could have any superpower, it would be flying—helping cut down on airfare costs and providing great views! 🌍 Her go-to comfort food? A full pint of ice cream. 🍨 Outside of her studies, Billie enjoys fostering animals for local shelters. She has had the privilege of caring for many adorable dogs and cats, all deserving of their perfect forever homes. 🐾 And did you know? Billie is also a classically trained pianist! 🎶 Join us in welcoming Billie, who’s eager to bring her unique skills and passions to our mission! #chicagokids #cpachicagokids #CPAkids #childthrive #positiveimpact #communitysupport #communitystrong #communityimpact #communitypartners #partnerships

🎨 Our students wrapped up the Sky Art summer program by crafting their very own emotional support puppets! 🧸 Twon proudly shows off his masterful puppet, a true reflection of his creativity. Through SkyArt, students used art as a powerful tool to express their thoughts and emotions. These puppets are more than just creative projects—they're helping our students grow and develop socially and emotionally. 🌟 #chicagokids #cpachicagokids #CPAkids #childthrive #positiveimpact #communitysupport #communitystrong #communityimpact #communitypartners #partnerships
