Breakthrough Urban Ministries (Breakthrough) was formed in 1992 to meet the physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual needs of people in the urban setting. Breakthrough seeks to demonstrate the compassion of Christ by partnering with those affected by poverty to build connections, develop skills & open doors of opportunity. In Chicago's East Garfield Park, where disinvestment has left the neighborhood devoid of opportunity and full of broken dreams, Breakthrough is restoring the broken networks of youth and families and empowering adults in the community to achieve self-sufficiency and break the cycle of poverty.
Partners with those in poverty to build connections, develop skills and open doors of opportunity.
Homeless Intervention (Homeless Adults)Homeless Intervention includes: (1) a daytime drop-in center for homeless adults, (2) a robust transitional housing program, and (3) permanent supportive housing. The goal of this service area is to move guests from crisis to stability and on to contributing to a healthy west side of Chicago. These three core areas are enhanced by critical wraparound services, including workforce development, legal aid, and on-site behavioral and medical health care programs. Each year, Breakthrough serves in excess of 1,200 homeless individuals.
Youth Development (Youth)The Breakthrough Youth Network (BYN) is Breakthrough's youth development and academic enrichment program area serving over 500 youth annually. Each year, the BYN runs four core programs: (1) Breakthrough Beginners (early childhood education for ages 3-5), (2) the Nettie Bailey Student Achievement Program (afterschool and summer academic enrichment), (3) the Art and Science Academy (interactive and engaging STEAM opportunities) and (4) the Breakthrough Sports and Fitness Academy (year-round sports offerings for hundreds of youth). The vision of the BYN is to partner with youth and families so that East Garfield Park becomes a place where success becomes the norm and families prosper.
Hunger Relief (Community Residents)Breakthrough provides the Fresh Market, a client-choice food pantry, to over 2,000 East Garfield Park families each year. In addition to providing fresh food four times each week, the Fresh Market is an entry point for community residents wishing to access other services, such as financial literacy, nutrition workshops, and health screenings.
