Opening doors to opportunity is the central
theme of Northwestern Settlement’s operations.
The bedrock of American society is the notion
that everyone has equal opportunity to succeed.
But for low-income families and individuals,
any number of challenges can undermine
the realization of a life of stability and self-
determination.
Each of us has a history and a story. Most
of us only have to go back two or three
generations to find our immigrant ancestors
living in poverty. Somewhere along the way
we were given opportunity. Opportunity to
improve our circumstances. Opportunity to
become educated. Opportunity to have solid
jobs and careers. Opportunity to raise our
families comfortably and safely, passing on the
benefits that accrued to us. Clubs, schools,
places of worship, and settlement houses have
been, and continue to be, the community-
based institutions that open doors to these
opportunities.
To provide the Settlement’s children and
families these opportunities, we remain
true to the founding settlement house spirit
of flexibility and responsiveness. We’re
innovators and risk takers, having led the way
in community health, camping for inner-city
youth, and most recently the charter school
movement to reform public education. We
seize opportunity to serve.
Our sustained success is based on visionary
leadership, thoughtful and continuously
innovative program development, cost-effective
service delivery, and strategic programming
partnerships. Year after year, our supporters,
partners and volunteers reaffirm their
commitment to Northwestern Settlement. In
the nearly 125 years since our founding, we have
had a remarkably stable board of directors,
only three executive leaders, and an incredibly
dedicated and supportive network of auxiliary
boards.
There are few organizations with such a
rich history and diverse set of activities and
programs that bring a broad base of expertise,
A MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT
We’re innovators and risk takers,
having led the way in community health, camping for inner-city youth, and
most recently the charter school movement
to reform public education.
We seize opportunity to serve.
“ “interest and dedication to the uniquely
American defined purpose: to have each
generation build upon the past for a more
secured and successful future. We all have a
role to play in supporting and contributing to
this purpose and vision, and together we have
the power to make enormous and positive
lasting change.
I hope you will join us in this work.
Sincerely,
Ron Manderschied
President

Each year, the Settlement prepares 78 children for Kindergarten through our preschool. Our site is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and has a Gold Circle of Quality from ExceleRate Illinois.
A majority of preschool students go on to attend Rowe Elementary charter school. Rowe served nearly 700 scholars in grades K-7 during the
INVESTING IN
YOUTH2014-15 school year, and for two consecutive years has been named a Level 1+ school by Chicago Public Schools, the highest quality rating available.
Over 200 Rowe scholars receive after-school programming provided by the Settlement, giving them a safe haven after dismissal during the school year, and all day during the summer.

SUPPORTING OUR

FOOD PANTRY
EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAM
The Settlement provides community families with immediate assistance for short term needs, as well as inspiration for the future. Our Emergency Services Program operates a year-round food pantry, with more weekly hours of operation than any other in our neighborhood. We help 2,500 families by distributing over 400,000 pounds of food, 12,000 pounds of clothing, as well as toiletries, baby needs, and household furnishings.
House In The Wood is the Settlement’s camp in Delavan, WI, providing over 400 Chicago youth with a safe summer camp experience far removed from urban violence. Hundreds of Rowe scholars attend camp each spring and fall for hands-on environmental education lessons, directly tied to in-class science programming.

ENGAGING THE
COMMUNITY
ADVENTURE STAGE CHICAGO
AMERICORPS PROJECT YES!
GOLDEN AGERS
Adventure Stage Chicago is the Midwest’s only theater aimed at middle school audiences, and we engaged 9,204 individuals through the productions, education, and mentorship last season.
Project YES! is the Settlement’s AmeriCorps program. In 2014-15, we worked with 28 recent
community-minded college graduates, connecting them with youth in and around our West Town neighborhood. Through their own site work and by mobilizing 526 volunteers at 42 events, members contributed over 50,000 hours of service to the community. Members also provided fun opportunities for senior citizens in our Golden Agers club to socialize.

CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF
MR. JOHN WELKE
Northwestern Settlement remembers
Mr. John Welke, who passed away on
February 6, 2015. John was the longest-
serving Settlement staff member where
he ran the woodshop program for
over 50 years – a lifetime in service
to his community. He lived his
entire life in the house across the
alley from the Settlement House.
Prior to joining the Settlement, John was a
carpenter who worked on the Pullman Cars, when
trains still had beautiful wood interiors. He made a
real difference in the lives of thousands of children
over the years, teaching them carpentry skills, but
even more importantly offering guidance. He was a
father figure, a big brother, and a mentor to children
and young adults in our community. His memory will
live on through the many lives he touched.
