report to the community
mission
To partner with parents and the community
to provide innovative transformational
behavioral and educational support
services to children, adolescents, and
young adults that create pathways
to successful and healthy behaviors
throughout life.
VISION
To lead the way in finding innovative
solutions that create positive change
in youth, family and community life.
dear friends & donors,
FY14 continued to be an exciting year for Omni Youth Services. While we
were faced with our share of challenges driven by the State of Illinois’
financial position and the ever-changing funding landscape, OMNI had
plenty of opportunities and reasons to be excited.
OMNI launched several new cutting-edge programs
such as SPARCS (Psychotherapy for Adolescents
Responding to Chronic Stress) and Life skills for teen
parents who are also wards of the state. We also
expanded OMNI’s reach by serving new schools,
communities and populations.
The board of directors finalized a new strategic
plan including fine-tuning our mission (see page 2)
and identifying OMNI’s long terms goals, focused
on decreasing our reliance on state funding and
re-establishing OMNI as the go-to experts for youth
development and behavioral health needs for all
demographics. The Board also grew significantly
in 2014, gaining several talented and passionate
individuals who are certain to help OMNI continue to
succeed in its mission to help youth and families.
Thank you to the many donors, volunteers, partners and
friends that helped OMNI impact over 32,000 people
last year. With your support, along with the incredibly
passionate and driven staff and leadership at OMNI, we
will continue to meet the growing and changing needs of
the young people and families in our communities.
Thanks for your support.
Andy Greenawalt
President, Board of Directors

omni first hand:
I live in Wheeling with my mom
and dad and two little brothers.
My parents work very hard, both
day and night to provide for us.
I went to six different schools
between 3rd and 12th grade. I
never felt like I belonged or fit in
at any of them. I quickly learned
that the partying kids would
accept me right off the bat. By
sixth grade I was smoking weed
and hanging out with the
“wrong” crowd.
Diana bravely shares her story at the
2014 LightSource Unlimited OMNI Golf Classic
OMNI wasn’t my first experience with counseling;
I was hospitalized two times in seventh grade for
depression, substance use and self-injury. I was at the
rock bottom, I was locked up. I remember looking
out the windows my first night sobbing and thinking
“How did I get here?” I quickly figured out what the
professionals wanted to hear so I did what I had
to do and said what I had to say to get released.
I returned to drugs and cutting, I just got better at
hiding it.
I came to OMNI my sophomore year of high
school as an alternative to suspension and arrest
on a marijuana possession violation. OMNI started
me in Seven Challenges. I fought it at first but then
I realized they were not telling me what I should or

shouldn’t do. Instead OMNI helped me think about
my choices, why I was making the decisions I was
making, and get a clear idea of who I really wanted
to be and what I needed to do to get there.
Over winter break I went on a Journey trip to the
Everglades, they were the absolute best ten days
of my life! I had never before seen so many bright
beautiful stars! I climbed a coconut tree and ate
the juiciest Mango. I never imagined that so many
beautiful things existed. On that trip I learned how
big the world was, how many things the world had
to offer me and I learned how strong I really am. I
still have my water bottle of sand and shells on my
dresser; it makes me smile. On that trip I learned to
trust adults and I came to understand that my drug
use and cutting had started at twelve because I was
sexually assaulted. Until then I hadn’t told anybody
what happened to me. I didn’t think anyone would
believe me because of who had done it.
After Journey I started participating in everything
I could at OMNI, counseling, Girls After-School
and Summer Programs (GAP and GSP) and other
Journey trips. OMNI taught me how to have
healthy relationships, take one day at a time, take
responsibility for myself, my future, my decisions and
ask for help when I need it. I have been substance
free for over two years; and I am back on track
with my education and a bright future. Without
OMNI, I don’t know where I would be today. But
I am here because of OMNI and the support of
people like you who made it possible for me to get
the help I needed. Thank you!!
“I didn’t think OMNI could help my daughter,
I thought she was too far gone. I thought she was for
sure going to end up in jail or dead.
OMNI not only helped her but they helped me.
I learned how to talk to my daughter. We learned how
avoid fights and get along. Now she’s a good
role model for her brothers. I am really happy.”

OMNI’s Peer Jury program places first-time juvenile offenders
who admit to committing non-violent crimes before
a panel of local teenage volunteers who determine
appropriate actions that will repair the harm to the
community, including community service, written papers,
and letters of apology. This Youth Development Program provides teens
the opportunity to volunteer and train to become a juror. Peer Jury volunteers
are comprised of a group of youth that hand out sentences to first-time youth
offenders. Youth volunteer jurors gain leadership and communication skills as
well as gain community awareness while playing an important part in making
their communities better. Last year OMNI facilitated six peer juries across the
communities of Buffalo Grove, Lake Zurich, Mt. Prospect, Mundelein, Prospect
Heights and Wheeling. 97 youth defendants were tried by over 60 volunteer
peer jurors.
OMNI’s Community Outreach Program provided backpacks and
school supplies to 100 families in need at our annual Back to
School Fair. The Community Outreach Program provides a variety
of services and community linkages that help struggling families
overcome obstacles and be more successful in all areas of family
life. Over 500 individuals from low income families received a
variety of services including emergency assistance, tutoring/
mentoring, parenting education, translation services, computer
access, holiday gifts, coat drives, etc.

Youth and Family Counseling
OMNI offers family, group and individual counseling for
youth encountering emotional and behavioral difficulties.
OMNI believes the best way to make positive change
in adolescents is by encouraging them to learn through
their actions. OMNI offers hands-on challenges with a
treatment approach known as “experiential therapy”,
which connects learning experience with the development
of skills for life.
In addition to helping youth and families who are struggling with issues like drugs
and alcohol abuse, OMNI also works to prevent kids throughout our community from
getting involved in negative behaviors. New in OMNI’s Prevention area in FY14 was
the creation and launch of the Student Advisory Board (SAB) and Summer Leadership
Program. SAB students follow the Engaging Youth in Positive Change curriculum
designed to empower students to improve conditions that will lead to a decrease in teen
substance use. Students from John Hersey High School came together to focus and
work on prevention programming aimed at community middle school aged students.
Students garnered support and participation from two local middle school districts. We
are very proud of these future leaders!
OMNI’s Teen Parenting Service Network Program (TPSN) added a new Life Skills Program to its offering.
TPSN provides case management, skill building and support for teen wards of the state who are pregnant or
parenting children. Most of these youth have been victims of abuse and have little to no support system or
positive adult role models. The Life Skills Program helps these vulnerable youth gain skills to be more successful
after transitioning out of the state system including all areas of living such as job skills, housing, money
management, health care, home organization, transportation, parenting skills and resources, and much more.
The program runs over about eight weeks and is hands on to keep the youth engaged and increase learning.

Youth Development
OMNI’s Youth Development Program provides the
support and opportunities that facilitate the acquisition
of leadership skills, encourage connections to the
community, promote the development of personal assets
and increase the likelihood that youth will become healthy
and successful adults. Opportunities include peer juries,
community service projects and REALITY, our teen theatre
company.
Family Preservation
Working with referrals from the Illinois Department
of Children and Family Services (DCFS), OMNI
provides home-based services that keep children safe
while strengthening families and helping them stay
together. Services include in-home counseling and case
management for abused and neglected children and their
families and support and skill building for teenage wards
of the state who are pregnant or already parents.
Juvenile Justice Services
OMNI has differentiated itself by successfully working
with service recipients that are from communities or
populations that are often overlooked or underserved,
such as youth who are referred to us from the court system.
At OMNI, these youth leave with life skills that help them
turn their lives around. By emphasizing accountability,
the reconciliation of past wrongs, community safety, and
the development of emotional, social and cognitive skills,
OMNI’s juvenile justice programs help youth develop the
skills necessary to make better life choices.
Prevention
OMNI provides prevention services to the community.
Our efforts focus on education, awareness and policy
development which promote and support the prevention
of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use by youth.
Substance Abuse Treatment
& Recovery Program
Individual, family and group services are tailored to
specifically address the issues faced by youth who are
striving to become drug-free. OMNI understands the
importance of family relationships and the adolescent’s
home environment. Because these issues play a
significant role in helping an adolescent recover from
substance abuse, family counseling groups are an
integral part of the youth’s recovery program.
Community Outreach Programs
OMNI Youth Services does effective community
outreach to immigrants and low-income communities
through programs from CHiL, an innovative approach
to after-school services, to the provision of emergency
assistance to families in need. Services including
parenting workshops, computer workshops, health
events, and translation services promote self-sufficiency
and community participation are provided in English and
Spanish through relationships that respect the culture and
dignity of all.
Journey
Internationally recognized as an innovative provider of
wilderness and adventure-based programming within
an outpatient setting, Journey is OMNI Youth Services’
wilderness therapy program. Under the guidance
of licensed/certified professionals, adolescents are
challenged in unfamiliar outdoor settings. During a
Journey experience, the wilderness confronts youth and
families with the natural consequences of their good and
bad decisions. This facilitates learning and understanding.
Adolescents learn to work with others, improve team
leadership skills, develop trust, take appropriate risks,
increase self-esteem, and have appropriate fun.
