Henry Booth House Hegewisch Headstart Ct

Henry Booth House affectionately known as HBH, is a 501c3, Greater Chicago nonprofit community-based social services agency. Founded in 1898 by the Chicago Ethical Humanist Society, HBH primarily focused on the development of ethical principles, education and quality of life. It is named after Judge Henry Booth, the organization's first President.

From then until now, we drive this mission via 2 distinct and complementary core competencies anchoring both of these efforts in the education of the family.

First, in Head Start, our overarching goal is to "prepare at-risk children, 3-5 years of age for kindergarten and families for self-sufficiency". We are the 2nd largest provider of Head Start services in Chicago, educating children at over 43 sites, our impact can be felt throughout 18 aldermanic wards in which we prepare over 1000 children for kindergarten each year.

Second, our Family Health effort, although not clinical in focus, targets the health education of the family from "birth to three": HBH impacts the lives of over 3000 families each year.
