About Irish Community Services
Founded in 1998, Irish Community Services has established itself as a vital pillar of the Chicago, IL Irish American community, dedicated to the mission of serving, empowering, and connecting Irish and Irish American families throughout the Midwest. The organization believes that vibrant communities are built through genuine human connection, meaningful conversations, and direct support services that honor the cultural heritage and dignity of those served. Irish Community Services creates spaces where Irish Americans gather, share experiences, and access the resources they need to thrive—from immigration support to community programming that celebrates Irish culture and strengthens social bonds. Operating from their Chicago base, the organization serves as a bridge for immigrants and established community members alike, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. Their commitment to creating a connected, caring community is reflected in every program, conversation, and service interaction, whether through group gatherings that build community spirit or one-on-one assistance tailored to individual circumstances. With a dedicated staff and active board of community leaders, Irish Community Services in Chicago embodies the values of Irish hospitality and community solidarity, working tirelessly to ensure that no member of the Irish American community faces challenges alone.
