CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, July 16, 2024 — Erikson Institute is proud to announce the sixth cohort of its Executive Fellows program. The program’s intent is to elevate the science of early childhood development to top decision-makers who influence policy, determine resource allocations, and shape the educational experience of young children.

Now in its 122nd year, one of Chicago's most underrated, unsung, and longest-standing charities, the Juvenile Protective Association (JPA), continues its mission. Last Saturday, over 200 supporters, teachers, social workers, clinicians, board members, and friends of the program gathered to honor, celebrate, and fundraise for the organization that was first started back in 1901 by the iconic Jane Addams.
