2013 Annual Report MAKING A DIFFERENCE ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2013 (06/12 - 05/13) RECALLS DROPPED In 2008, Danny’s Law was passed. To date, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has, as the law requires, set strong new mandatory standards for eight types of children’s products including toys, cribs, swings and more. With increased oversight and independent testing required, recalls have dropped. This is especially true of cribs. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Dr. Elizabeth Powell, Nancy Cowles, Brian Imus of Illinois PIRG and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan at the release of PIRG's Trouble in Toyland report. “This is the best site on the Internet for new moms and ALL those that care for babies and small children!” –from KID facebook page Parents know they can find useful information and answers to their safety questions from KID. KID is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by improving children’s product safety. Through outreach and education, KID gives caregivers KID was founded in 1998 by Linda Ginzel and Boaz Keysar, the parents of the tools they need to keep children safe.

It is now mandatory that these products be tested to avoid design flaws such as those that killed Danny Keysar and many other children. CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum was joined by Linda Ginzel, Nancy Cowles, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky and Rachel Weintraub of Consumer Federation of America in Washington, DC to mark the passage. Students working through KID’s innovative TEST (Teach Early Safety Testing) program developed prototypes to address hazards in cribs, bassinets, infant seats and more. The program continues to bring design safety concepts to undergraduate engineering students. Ninety-four percent of participants responding to a survey said they will take away valuable product safety lessons from the experience.

Specifically, the bill would bar sexual orien- tation discrimination on current service mem- bers and future recruits. The measure also bans armed forces’ discharges based on sexual ori- entation from the date the law is enacted, at the same time the bill stipulates that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Coast Guard members previ- ously discharged under the policy be eligible for re-enlistment. “For too long, gay and lesbian service members have been forced to conceal their sexual orien- tation in order to dutifully serve their country,” Burris said March 3.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

    Annual Report - Fiscal Year 2017 | July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 Rising to the Challenge YOS strategically adapts to meet the needs of Chicago’s at-risk youth One bad choice can change the path of a life forever. That’s why Youth Outreach Services (YOS) is so passionate about the services and programs we offer our clients and their families. Everything we do is focused on enabling youth to have brighter futures by making good decisions now, even in the face of major challenges like drugs, violence, gangs, homelessness, and mental illness. The same is true for how YOS approaches the strategic management of our resources. In fiscal year ’17, YOS continued to build a better future for the organization while dealing with funding challenges for contracted services from the state of Illinois. Helping at-risk youth in Chicago to reach their potential is too important to let a few roadblocks stand in the way. By carefully controlling our reserves and funds, YOS stayed focused on our mission. We were able to maintain and expand services to address existing and emerging issues, while preparing for strategic growth in the future. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS RESULT IN GROWTH Sustained much needed services I E N T S S E R V E Led an expansion of the C L D geographic scope of services YOS stayed invested in keeping core services available at our offices, in Grew our Comprehensive Community families’ homes, and at schools, so 2,991 Based Youth Services (CCBYS) clients were not left without a PREVENTION followed by a partnership with safety net.
