Since 1975, Teen Living Programs has been at the forefront of serving underprivileged youth in Chicago. TLP is now the only agency in Chicago whose mission is to serve homeless and runaway youth exclusively, and whose programs assist youth from the streets all the way to their independence. TLP's mission is to create hope and opportunity for youth who are homeless by assisting them to permanently leave the streets, secure stable housing, and build self-sufficient, satisfying lives. We believe that all children are entitled to a safe and loving home, where they gain an assurance of belonging, a desire for independence, a commitment to competence, and a heart of compassion. Tragically, thousands of children never experience this kind of home. Many of these become homeless. Our mission was born and is driven by these youth.

Since 1932, Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating real and lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world. It is a member of the International Save the Children Alliance, comprising 27 national Save the Children organizations working in more than 100 countries to ensure the well-being of children. Its work reaches thousands of children, providing quality literacy, physical activity and nutrition programs. It offers programs to improve academic performance, health and ultimately, children's lives.
