A community advocate for individuals with disabilities.

Good Shepherd Center

Good Shepherd Center for Exceptional Children was founded in 1963 as a school for children with disabilities and their families. We were a pioneer in serving children at that time, as educational/therapy programs were rare for young children in their first critical five years of life. For over 60 years, Good Shepherd Center has provided programs and services to children and families with and without disabilities in Will and Cook County.  These services begin from infancy to adult.  Our agency provides training, education, early intervention, screenings, community advocacy, and parent support for those seeking resources regarding developmental and intellectual disabilities in our communities.

Pine Island Non-Profit Summer Camp - New Spots Open

Pine Island Camp

Pine Island is a non-profit summer camp, in continuous operation since 1902 that fosters boys’ independence, imagination, and character. While many camps operate as profit-driven small businesses, Pine Island stands apart as a 501(c)(3) organization. For over a century, it has provided boys aged nine to fifteen the most meaningful experiences of their lives. On a small island in Maine’s Belgrade Lakes, campers live unplugged—without electricity or running water. They gain the freedom to make meaningful choices, the support of a community grounded in shared values, and enough time away from home to feel both independent and integral to a unique community they help build. Whether your son is shy or outgoing, big or small, Pine Island will challenge him to bring out his best in the simple joys and varied circumstances of outdoor living. All of this happens under the close guidance of our caring staff, nearly all of whom are former campers themselves. Spots are limited—Pine Island limits enrollment to fewer than 100 campers each summer.
