    Lloyd A. Fry Foundation 2005 Annual Report Making Contributions to the Field Mission The Lloyd A. Fry Foundation supports organizations with the strength and commitment to address persistent problems of urban Chicago resulting from poverty, violence, ignorance, and despair. We seek to build the capacity of individuals and the systems that serve them. Our vision is a Chicago that offers education, prosperity, and hope for all. About the Foundation In 1933 Lloyd A. Fry founded the Lloyd A. Fry Roofing Company on the Southwest Side of Chicago. During the next five decades, the company grew to become the world’s largest manufacturer of asphalt roofing and allied products, with nearly 5,000 dedicated employees in manufacturing facilities nationwide. The company was sold to Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corporation in 1977. In large part, the proceeds from the sale of the company now serve as the endowment of the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation. The Foundation has been addressing the needs of the Chicago community since 1983.

  • Chicago CBO Bridge Report
    Chicago CBO Bridge Report Chicago Workforce Investment Council Amanda Cage, Director of Human Capital Strategy October 2011 Introduction The Chicago Workforce Investment Council’s Literacy-to-Work initiative aims to coordinate resources and promote best practices in combining literacy and job skills training. The end goal is to increase Chicago’s return on investment for public spending on low-skilled individuals. Research shows that the best way to achieve this goal is to increase the number of low-skilled individuals who complete at least one year of education past high school or earn an industry recognized credential. Bridge Programs accelerate educational attainment for low-skilled individuals to “bridge” them to skills training and community college programs. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) have agreed on the core components of bridge programs: Contextualized instruction that integrates basic reading, math, and language skills with occupational knowledge Career development that includes career exploration, career planning, and understanding of the world of work Transition services that provide students with the information and assistance they need to successfully navigate the process of moving from adult education to credit or occupational programs The following report is a description of bridge programs operated by Chicago community-based organizations. A description of the funding agencies is appended. 2 Community Based Bridge Programs Asian Human Services Asian Human Services’ Literacy Education for Adults and Families (LEAF) program offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to low-income adult immigrants living on Chicago's north side. The program offers English classes for beginning and intermediate level students as well as basic and intermediate computer skills courses.

We especially thank the staff and directors of our case study programs and their agencies, who allowed us to make numerous visits to their centers and who took the time on more than one occasion to talk with us about their ideas about literacy and the role of after- school programs in children’s lives. These include the directors and staff of Coalition for Hispanic Family Services Arts and Literacy, East Harlem Tutorial, Forrest Hills Neighborhood House, Hartley House, Interfaith Neighbors, and Riverdale Neighborhood House in New York City; Chicago Commons’ Guadalupano and Nia Centers, Erie Neighborhood House, Chinese American Service League, LaSalle Street Cycle Wiz Factory, and Street Level Youth Media in Chicago; and Chinese Information Service Center El Centro de la Raza Refugee Women’s Alliance, and YMCA Bailey Gatzert in Seattle.
