The mission of New Trier Township is to provide leadership, advocacy and resources to benefit the physical, mental and social well-being of Township residents.
Guiding Principles
The following principles guide the Board’s and Staff’s action as we work together to fulfill our mission:
- The Township’s primary role is to identify and address the needs of our community.
- Our efforts are to create new, energetic ideas and programs while maintaining existing programs which are relevant and effective.
- Our intent is to support, given due diligence and fiscal accountability, programs providing services to our neighbors: including youth programs; senior citizen supports; aid to persons with disabilities; food, shelter and emergency relief for people in need.
- We seek opportunities to meet community needs by providing assistance directly to individuals as well as indirectly, through third-party sources/providers.
- The Township will pursue coalition-building with other community entities and advocate on behalf of Township residents.
- We believe that people have the freedom to choose where they receive services and assistance, including those the Township provides and supports.
