Illinois Coalition for Community Services - Youth Resource Advocate

The Illinois Coalition for Community Services (ICCS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As a Youth Resource Advocate with ICCS, my goal in participating as a vendor is not to sell products or services, but to connect with youth and families in the communities I serve. Our booth provides an opportunity to share free resources, information about local programs and services, and opportunities for youth to get involved in their community. By attending community events, I hope to build relationships with young people and their families, increase awareness of available resources, and better understand the needs of youth in the area. Depending on the event, our booth may also include youth-friendly activities, informational materials, giveaways, and opportunities to learn more about ICCS and our Community Youth Services program.
