Mission

CHILDREN'S AID HELPS CHILDREN IN POVERTY TO SUCCEED AND THRIVE. WE DO THIS BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORTS TO CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN TARGETED, HIGH-NEEDS NEW YORK CITY NEIGHBORHOODS. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)CONTINUATION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSION:WE BELIEVE ALL CHILDREN HAVE LIMITLESS POTENTIAL. BUT FOR THOSE GROWING UP SURROUNDED BY POVERTY, FAMILY INSTABILITY, AND PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL STRESS, LIFE IS TOO OFTEN ABOUT SURVIVAL, NOT POSSIBILITY. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT IN NEW YORK, A CITY OF HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY, SO MANY OF OUR CHILDREN FACE SERIOUS BARRIERS TO REALIZING THEIR OWN PROMISE.CHILDREN'S AID IS A PROFESSIONAL POWERHOUSE OF SOLUTIONS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. WE ARE TEACHERS AND SOCIAL WORKERS, COACHES AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO ENSURE CHILDREN GROW UP STRONG AND HEALTHY, AND READY TO THRIVE IN SCHOOL AND LIFE: EXCELLENT EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, AND STRONG, STABLE FAMILIES.
