College and Career Access Program (CCAP)
ChildServ's College and Career Access Program (CCAP) serves teenagers and young adults, age 12-21. Currently, the youth in this program reside in ChildServ's Group Homes, located in DuPage County, and Transitional Living Program, located in Wheaton, IL.
The current capacity for the program is thirty (30) participants. To date we have six (6) male teenagers in Lisle, six (6) female teenagers in Naperville, six (6) females in Downers Grove, three (3) female young adults and four (4) male young adults in Wheaton.
The program's key objective is to prepare youth for college and career success, though innovative approaches, so they can achieve their full academic and leadership potential and become responsible citizens.
The vision for CCAP is to continue helping more at-risk students build academic and employment skills, foster self-confidence driven by independent thinking and gain critical information about future educational and career choices.

CCAP Success Story
This year, five young adults in ChildServ's Transitional Living Program. With the help of CCAP, three have secured financial aid and are now enrolled in college. CCAP continues to mentor them there, also, by making tutoring available when needed as well as assisting the students with their studying, helping them to become more effective and successful. Two other young adults found guidance from CCAP as they worked towards their GED. Providing them with study materials, scheduling assistance and one-on-one tutoring from staff, they were well prepared for their eventual exams.
