St. Joseph Services (SJS) educates youth and adults at program sites located in some of Chicago’s most at risk neighborhoods for relentless violence and poverty. We creatively leverage an extensive volunteer force and neighborhood collaborations to provide out-of-school programs, tutoring, sports, computer and literacy classes, and job readiness training at low or no cost.
