Resilient is a Christian Community Development Team initiated by the ministry of Christ Church of Oak Brook and launched into Independence on January 1, 2018 opening offices at 136 E Highland Ave in Villa Park. Our endeavor is to enhance opportunity to thrive and prosper in and around the Roosevelt Road Corridor in DuPage County.
We are a 501c3 nonprofit Community Development Association committed to the development of a flourishing and Resilient community.
Resilient was founded out of the Domestic Missions department at Christ Church of Oak Brook in response to the needs identified in neighboring communities along the Roosevelt Road corridor. After meeting with community members, local businesses, city services and school administrators in Unincorporated Oak Brook Terrace and Villa Park, the leaders at Christ Church committed seed funding to launch this organization with a vision for addressing the social and economic disparity found in these communities while sharing the love of Christ through programs that enable and teach resilience.
Our programs impact marginalized youth, ages 5-20 years old, to foster the development of upstanding character, life skills, independence and self-empowerment. Additionally, we support their families and larger community to create a stronger foundation for these children and young adults to encourage greater potential success.
"We offer students that are disenfranchised, because they're not athletes or don't fit into a club, a place where they belong."
Resilient offers unique opportunities to volunteer and make a difference in the lives of students, young adults and their families in our neighboring communities surrounding the Roosevelt Road Corridor.
