We believe a Lifebook is a powerful tool that can help children understand their own stories and put the pieces of their lives together.

Faithful friends of LSSI often answer this question by supporting the programs most dear to them. If you choose to remember LSSI in your estate and financial plans, your gift will promote the well-being of those we are called to serve.

On October 31, 2017, LSSI turns 150! We would like to hear from people who have been impacted by its services over the years willing to share their stories.

LSSI is enrolling for our Head Start and Pre-Kindergarten programs at three Chicago (Austin, Rogers Park, and Uptown) locations.
