Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) is a statewide, non-profit agency rooted in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, serving the state since 1867. LSSI delivers a comprehensive suite of programs - including behavioral health, addiction treatment, mental health counseling, foster care, therapeutic foster care, senior housing, home-based care, and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities - to Illinois residents, with more than 80% of clients earning under $15k annually. The organization’s distinctive value lies in its community-driven, faith-based approach that blends evidence-based care with compassionate support, ensuring that the most vulnerable—including formerly incarcerated individuals and families in crisis—receive holistic, culturally competent services. LSSI’s culture emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to equity, making it an attractive workplace for professionals who want to make a measurable difference in social welfare.
