Who We Are


Illinois Partners for Human Service is a statewide network of organizations that advocate for high quality, responsible and sustainable approaches to providing human service in Illinois.

We engage nonprofit, government, faith-based, business and education leaders who agree that our communities are healthier and safer when residents have access to bedrock public services such as early childhood learning, afterschool programs, family support, assistance to the disabled, workforce training, violence prevention, and homecare for the elderly.
