Sertoma Star Services, an accredited non-profit, was established through a merger of New Star and Sertoma Centre, two agencies with rich histories of providing state-of-the-art services and programs for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and those living with mental illness. The organization has provided programs and services to individuals in and around the Chicagoland area and northwest Indiana for a collective 125-plus years.
Together as Sertoma Star Services, we support more than 1,500 consumers and have three locations in Illinois – Alsip, Chicago Heights, and Matteson – and an office in Merrillville, Indiana. Our programs are driven by our passion for creating life-changing vocational, educational, therapeutic, and residential opportunities for those we serve.
Our service consumers range in age from 5 to 95 years and include people with Epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and other substantial, chronic disabilities incurred before maturity, in addition to those living with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Bipolar Disorders, and other mental health concerns.
