Our Mission Statement
We Believe: ■ Each client of the PAA is a unique individual with different concerns and abilities and
shall be treated with dignity, respect and trust
■ PAA programs and services shall assist in the empowerment of people as individuals so that they may reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives
■ PAA programs and services shall be most effective when a holistic approach is taken to individual needs
■ PAA shall make every effort to respond to the unmet and well researched needs within the Polish community by providing programs and services not available elsewhere
■ PAA shall advocate on behalf of those within the Polish community who may not be able to speak for themselves
■ PAA shall foster linkages and collaborative efforts with other human service agencies and also within the extended Polish community, including persons most comfortable speaking either the English or Polish language
The mission of the Polish American Association, a human service agency, is to serve the diverse
needs of the Polish community in the Chicago metro area by providing resources for changing lives, with an emphasis on assisting immigrants.

90 Years of Services in…Partnering to help people reach their full potential
Together, we are helping victims of domestic violence, substance abuse, and depression feel less alone and isolated. Together, we are assisting youth coping with a new environment through counseling. Together, we are making it possible for seniors with diminishing resources and sup-port systems to maintain their independence and quality of life. For these individuals and families, we are providing services that can help them over-come obstacles and achieve their potential.
During fiscal year 2012, the PAA provided professional support, advice, and assistance to over 3,000 clients through its social services programs. Those programs included crisis intervention, individual and family counseling and advocacy for victims of domestic violence, partner abuse intervention program, senior services programs, substance abuse treatment and coun-seling for youth, homemakers program for seniors and people with disabil-ities, food pantry, clothing closet, emergency energy and rental assistance, outreach and interpretation.
Through these programs, the PAA addresses the serious problems affecting the Polish community. By providing holistic, linguistically and culturally sensitive programs and services, the PAA enables its clients to progress beyond an abusive domestic situation, a crippling addiction and debili-tating mental illnesses such as depression. For victims of domestic abuse, the PAA offers crisis intervention, information and referral, individual and group counseling, interpretation and translation, assistance in applying for public assistance and other financial resources including medical and legal advocacy. These programs allow the victims and their families to receive the support they need to escape a violent relationship and build a better tomorrow for themselves.
Both young and old found assistance. The Homemaker and Senior Services assisted over 500 elderly clients by providing compassionate profession-al care, opportunities for community, and essential health screenings. The PAA also offered programs for youth with counseling, substance abuse and other services.

“Through our specialized social service programming we touch the lives of thousands of people each year, helping them to realize their full potential and make lasting changes. I am especially proud that as a team we have a great capacity to serve people of all faiths and all walks of life, including children, families, and adults.”
Angelika Danek, LCSW, CRADC, Director of Clinical Services
“I saw a woman who was afraid and alone and defeated become brave and strong. I can never thank you enough for helping her escape an abusive situation and live the beautiful life she so deserved.”

90 Years of Services in…Partnering to help those in need
Together, we provide people in crisis with the very basic of necessities: food, adequate shelter and adequate health care. Together, we offer hope to those facing the day to day struggle of existence. For those indi-viduals and their families, together we help them take the first steps on the path to self-sufficiency.
This year, the PAA helped almost 1,000 individuals and families with supplemental food through our Food Pantry. Our Turning Point Homeless Shelter offered two daily hot meals, counseling services and a supportive environment for 77 homeless men, providing them with the resources for changing their lives. Our low-income energy and rental assistance program enabled over 1,000 individuals and their families to maintain adequate housing and utility services.

“Every day, we see people who are in great need: the homeless, the hungry, those who have abused drugs and alcohol and who are in crisis. But each day, we also see how we help change their lives for the better. This is what I am most proud of.”
Dorota Lewandowska, Program Director
“I had an uncle who drank. His problems tormented our entire family but mostly my aunt and mother. All of us went through so much that I feel that if any contribution I make to the PAA can prevent for others even a small part of the trauma that we went through, then I have given a gift to those I loved dearly who are no longer with us as well as giving a vital lifeline to those now suffering.”

90 Years of Services in…Partnering to provide thetools for self-sufficiency
Together, we assist immigrants by offering English classes, preparation for U.S. Citizenship exams, and opportunities for enhancing their job skills. Together, we offer those programs and services which enable individuals to better compete in the job market and thus provide financial stability for themselves and their families.
This year, the PAA’s Education and Employment programs provided over 1,000 individuals with courses in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and literacy programs. We offered computer classes as well as computer resource labs, enabling individuals to develop and improve their computer skills, conduct job searches, create resumes and use e-mail.

“I am very proud that almost 3,000 people entering the Learning Center’s doors every year are leaving with a new set of skills which makes them employable, job advancement possible, simple pleasures like watching television in their reach and those who pass a citizenship exam may fully participate in the political life of their new homeland.”
Elzbieta Chrzanowska, Director of Education & Employment Services
“I cannot begin to imagine what it was like for my parents when they came to the United States lacking language and other job skills. How strange—and frightening—it must have been for them at first. I am very grateful that the PAA helps people adjust to life in their adopted land and gives them the tools to participate fully. When I send in my annual gift, I think of them.”

Employment
90 Years of Services in…Partnering to provide thetools for self-sufficiency
Together, we provide career counseling and training to those seeking direc-tion and stable employment. Together, we guide individuals to successful careers by offering programs and services which provide that help. Since 1981, together we have successfully placed more than 10,000 individuals in full-time jobs. Since 1991, we have been certified by the Illinois Board of Education as a Private Business and Vocational School. Together, we help those individuals find financial independence through employment.
Our Employment Services are offered to both job seekers and providers at no charge. We maintain an extensive job bank and have a dedicated staff of job developers.
Additionally, the PAA offers resources on making career and job deci-sions. Our Career Counseling programs help individuals in their job search through individual guidance as well as seminars. During the last year we provided job counseling to over 500 individuals.
The PAA also offers classes for those wanting to enter careers in health care and office administration. In addition to vocational classes in office skills, we have well regarded programs in Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A.) and Physical Rehabilitation Aide (P.R.A.) training.

“Being able to provide for family or being single and financially independent makes every human being proud. Those who have lost their jobs are crushed, angry with tears in their eyes. Job readiness workshops, resume writing, computer classes and vocational training helps them to reinvent themselves, find a job and get their dignity back. There is nothing more rewarding.”
Elzbieta Chrzanowska, Director of Education & Employment Services
“My mother loved what you are doing for those seeking employment, especially the single mothers. If she were still with us today, she would be over there, volunteering to do whatever she could do to support your program. In its own small way, our annual family gift to the PAA honors her and her dedication to helping those less fortunate find their paths in life. Thank you for all you do.”

90 Years of Services in…Partnering to providethe path to citizenship
Together we assist in offering a better tomorrow provided by U.S. Citizenship, by the freedom and opportunity offered by inclusion into the greater American community. Together, we help immigrants who come here overcome the linguistic and cultural displacements between leaving their home countries and gaining U.S. citizenship. For these individuals and their families together we provide them with services that help them achieve that goal.
The PAA is the only Polish agency accredited by the National Board of Immigration Appeals of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The PAA Immigration Services staff provides accurate information on citizenship, hosts immigration workshops and helps streamline the application process. They help clients assist in preparing for the U.S. Citizenship exams, applying for citizenship, adjusting immigration status, and completing the necessary paperwork to reunite families.
PAA’s Housing Resource Center provides individuals with information and services to enable more Polish immigrants to enter the home-buying market. Trained counselors provide clients with unbiased, bilingual information and the counseling necessary to facilitate knowledgeable and thoughtful home-purchasing decisions as well as rudimentary financial advice.
The Housing Resource Center also helps clients with problems such as: landlord tenant conflict resolution, lock-outs, evictions, security deposits, retaliation, discrimination, gaining access to affordable housing for special needs persons like senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

“When martial law was declared in Poland, I was walking with some friends in Grant Park. I remember thinking it was great that the United States is supporting Polish freedom. As an immigrant, I know how important it is to keep the door open so others can follow.”
Grazyna Zajaczkowska, Program Director
“The man in front of me held a small child on his lap. The young boy waved a small paper American flag. ‘In a few minutes,’ the man whispered in the child’s ear, ‘we’ll be Americans. And then you can live the life I’ve dreamed for you.’ For this family, the PAA made it possible for them to live their dreams.”
