Our Members

CCN was developed in 2013 to ensure more comprehensive, coordinated service delivery to youth and families in Illinois. By employing a multi-organizational approach, each member organization is able to share the risk of innovation while gaining extensive knowledge, learning through collective leadership, and offering youth and families a diverse array of program capabilities.

Our Model

The Dually Involved Youth program is structured through a performance-based contract, ensuring positive results for the enrolled youth.  CCN is an advocate for performance-based funding models and has created a structure where data is at the forefront of how we do our work.
