Get directions »

SER Central States promotes economic self-sufficiency and upward mobility for low-income community residents through education and employment.

 SER Central States was established more than two decades ago to provide employment-related services to people residing in the greater Chicago area. SER is the Spanish verb “to be,” and also reflects the means by which our mission is accomplished — Service, Employment, and Redevelopment.

We have grown exponentially in the past decade, and we're excited about what's in store for SER Central States in the future. Here are some of our long-term goals for the next few years and beyond.

  • Diversify and Expand Our Program Offerings
  • Continue to Grow The Number of Customers
  • Increase the Number of Employer Partners
  • Expand our Board of Directors
  • Diversify Our Revenues Base

Diversify and Expand Our Program Offerings

We'd like to increase the number and types of educational and training programs that we offer. Our many initiatives include starting alternative education programs for youth customers and building innovative, "green jobs" training for adults.

 Continue to Grow The Number of Customers

We'd like to increase the number of customers served, as well as add skilled, dedicated staff to expand our reach into the communities around us.

 Increase the Number of Employer Partners

We are focusing on expanding the number of companies where we place customers, as well as move into fast-growing insdustries such as "green" construction and manufacturing.

 Expand our Board of Directors

We are aiming to increase the number of our board members and to add specific expertise to our board.

 Diversify Our Revenues Base

Like most nonprofits, we are striving for greater financial independence and a broader revenue base by adding increased private, corporate, and government funding sources.
