About This Service
Children's Aid fights for laws and policies that help children and families in New York City's poorest neighborhoods. Their team talks to government leaders about problems families face and works to change unfair rules. They focus on getting more early childhood education, after-school programs, summer jobs for teens, school health centers, and help for kids in foster care. They work with other organizations to make their voice stronger when asking for better funding and laws that protect families.
“Most people want to be part of something. They just don't know where to start. That's not a motivation problem. It's a navigation problem.”
