Our Mission “Helping young people and families succeed by serving them in their home, school and community.” 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 424 W. Madison Street Ottawa, IL 61350 Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley Greetings, Change is inevitable, but many things remain the same. Both phrases speak true about YSB this past year. Effective July 1, 2013, I proudly have the honor of being the Executive Director, and I am very appreciative of the support of the Board, staff and friends of YSB during my transition. The former Executive Director held the position for over 30 years. During his tenure, a solid foundation for the agency was firmly built on programs and services delivered to families and children in numerous communities. Currently, YSB provides services in over 20 counties in Illinois. Change is occurring and especially over the last six months, focus has centered on accountability in meeting program goals, expenditures that utilize YSB dollars in the most cost-effective manner, and raising awareness of the YSB mission to the old and new communities. Other changes have focused on the re-establishment of the Hope House program in LaSalle County with the partnership of the 708 Board. The YSB redeploy program, originally only offered in LaSalle County, was recently expanded to Grundy and Bureau counties. A new monitoring system has been implemented to oversee the effectiveness of the foster care/intact family programs to insure that statewide goals are being met. A new marketing initiative featuring The Kids’ Place, the YSB Child Development Center, in LaSalle, is called a “Hidden Treasure.” An additional System Of Care (SOC) therapist in the counseling program, serving at-risk foster children has been hired. A new YSB organizational chart and employee evaluation system are being created for implementation in March. What remains the same? YSBs long-standing commitment to its mission; serving children and families in their home, school and community has not wavered. The strength of YSB continues to be found in its staff, which remains committed and dedicated to children and families. I see this over and over again in the comments made by the clients YSB serves and the varied situations arising on a daily basis. A parent who completed the Parenting classes said at the graduation ceremony, “I had to make a promise to myself that I was going to finish this time. Believe it or not, I have never finished anything in my life. I’ve started a lot of stuff, but I never followed through.” Consider the 17 year-old who was homeless. A YSB Street Outreach worker helped her find a place to live, assisted her to apply and receive Social Security benefits, and guided her to set new goals, e.g., earn her CNA degree at IVCC. A biological father, who was incarcerated and never knew he had a daughter, made the following comment after one of the counseling staff arranged a meeting between him and his daughter. “I want to thank everybody who made this possible. It was an event that changed my life completely. I will forever be grateful. You know from the bottom of my heart I do appreciate everything that you have done for me and my daughter. Without you, our visit would have never been possible.” These stories occur each and every day and our staff works diligently to assist, empower, and heal YSB clients. Finally, a crucial part of YSB that remains strong and unwavering are the volunteers, supporters, and donors that provide valuable time, talent, and funding. Your support of YSB and its programs continue to be vital to the agency and its success. A quote I am fond of, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Sincerely, Ellen Anderson Frank P.

Bonnie Finney wanted to remember her grandchildren and all children who have suffered from abuse. Bonnie Finney inspired the blue ribbon child abuse campaign. In remembrance of her grandson, Bonnie tied a blue ribbon to her van antenna. When Bonnie was asked why she chose the color blue, she said “I never intend to forget the battered, bruised bodies of my grandchildren. Bruises are black and then eventually blue. Therefore, blue serves as a constant reminder to me to fight for our children.” Illinois Valley Building Trades Reilly Law Office LLC Renfro Auto Center, Inc.
