Concordia Place is a vibrant nonprofit providing proactive solutions to key social needs. Our focus is growth and opportunity through economically inclusive early childhood, teen leadership and senior wellness programs. In 1981 Concordia Lutheran Church in Chicago's North Center community responded to need for quality, afford, safe after-school programming for the neighborhood's children – in that moment Concordia Place was born. Now, nearly 35 years later, Concordia Place has expanded from serving 12 children, to providing education, enrichment, and wellness services to nearly 800 children, teens, and seniors at two location on Chicago's north west side. Our sliding scale tuition ensures families throughout the economic spectrum have access to high-quality early childhood education and after school programming from 7AM to 6PM. Parents can go to work confident knowing their child is in a safe, nurturing environment. Teens in our leadership program begins to develop the 21st century skills and an entrepreneurial mind-set needed to be successful in our fast-changing world. This free program serves over 200 13-18 year olds annually, drawing from nearly 40 schools from all over Chicago. We enhance the quality of life for seniors through holistic services that address their physical, spiritual and social well-being. The Senior Wellness and Senior Lift programs reinforce a sense of vitality and connection, allowing our seniors to remain independent and age in place. Providing opportunity. Growing the future.
