Where teens can be themselves.

Started in 1970, Response for Teens is a JCFS Chicago program specifically devoted to supporting adolescents (ages 12 through 24) and their families in the Jewish and general community.

We’re proud to offer a safe, welcoming space where teens can receive assistance dealing with life’s challenges, meet new friends, and feel free to be themselves.
