Who We Are

The mission of ICSC is to create and sustain health and wellness with a focus on cancer awareness, recovery support, and workforce development services that enhance the nature and flow of resources to underserved and/or low-income youth, individuals, and families in the greater Chicagoland region. ICSC is a holistic community-based agency hub for enriching lives and preparing individuals to achieve self- sufficiency, excel in health and wellness,learn marketable skills, and achieve quality of life through the following key areas: Educational Support, Academic Enhancement, Social Development, Vocational/Trades, Crisis Intervention and Life Skill Enrichment.

ICSC is a multi-service entity that promotes and advocates for those in recovery and has begun the process to become certified by ARCO as an RCO. Through programming based on best practice models1 encouraged by SAMHSA, ICJIA, and the Faces & Voices of Recovery, the Indigenous Peoples Recovery Community Organization (IP-RCO) encourages spiritual, physical, mental health, and life skill development programming, along with the uplifting of indigent people in disinterested communities to attain quality of life. As a partner agency of the Southland Recovery Coalition ROSC Council led by fiscal agent, Cornerstone Community Development Corporation, ICSC has built a strong foundation in leading the effort to expand the capabilities of the coalition into a comprehensive referral-based network of service providers, including violence prevention, domestic violence support and rapid re-housing, workforce development, and recovery supportive services.
