The Nikiema Family Drew Hamilton Early Childhood Center Children’s Aid Family

As refugees fleeing persecution, the Nikiema family arrived to Harlem without knowing English or having relatives for support. Once they were introduced to us, we became like a second family, helping them realize a brighter future.

Children’s Aid

Our work begins with a core belief — a belief that every child has limitless potential. It’s this belief that motivates 2,000 Children’s Aid staffers to come to work every day with a desire to make a difference in the lives of others, in the health of communities, and in the future of our city.

This belief is our beacon when the challenges of work feel intractable — when children are facing learning delays because of the pandemic, when teens are dealing with the mental health challenges of a modern world, and when families are struggling with prolonged food insecurity.

And this belief is also the reason why our successes feel so satisfying. When we see a child read her first word in a classroom, or a family make a breakthrough in therapy that could help keep them together, or a young person pack up for college with the security of a Children’s Aid scholarship, we know it’s because we never stopped believing in the promise of the future — and, more importantly, we never stopped believing in them.

Thank you for continuing to believe with us — and to believe in us. One thing we are sure of — this work would not be possible without your support.

With gratitude,

We believe in all young people 2

Children’s Aid

We believe in their potential, in their promise, and in their future. By reading this report, you are showing that you share in this incredibly powerful belief.

Every child is unique and significant; their needs are neither monolithic nor interchangeable. Our approach is tailored to recognize and support the individual needs and goals of children and families in New York City. We believe that when youth have meaningful tools and increased opportunity, they can transform their lives and achieve their dreams.

In this report, you will read how belief motivates children and families, staff, supporters, and partners to action, and how every member of the Children’s Aid community is bonded by trust, hope, and possibility. It’s these very tenets that are critical now more than ever, as we navigate uncertain times, holding true to the belief that all children can triumph in the face of adversity and become thriving, independent adults.

Children’s Aid served nearly 50,000 children and families in fiscal year 2022.

We believe in family 98% of families who received family crisis interventions avoided foster care placements.

Nearly $1 million in emergency relief was provided to families facing financial and health crises.

Children’s Aid

For New York City families with limited resources, maintaining a stable home can be a tough balancing act.

There is no limit to what children can achieve when their families are safe and thriving. Our experienced social workers, homemakers, and therapists provide families with resources and customized plans tailored to suit their unique needs and circumstances.

Children’s Aid equips children and families to weather destabilizing events and, ultimately, to strengthen their bond.

Our family stability toolkit includes: domestic violence interventions • family engagement activities • family life and sex education • family reunification • food and nutrition assistance • foster care and adoption placement and support • foster care prevention services • housing and legal advocacy

I believe in our future The Nikiema Family Drew Hamilton Early Childhood Center Children’s Aid Family

In Burkina Faso, Adeline, Panamesde, and their daughter faced religious persecution.

When Adeline was expecting twins, they made a bold decision: fly to Central America, walk long distances, and wade through rivers to ask for asylum in America. After arriving to New York City, the family was placed in a homeless shelter in Harlem. Their daughter enrolled in one of our preschools, and the twins began our home-based program for families with infants. As teachers got to know the family, they learned they were lacking food, clothing, and diapers, so they helped with basic necessities, health insurance, and public assistance. Now, the family is thriving and is celebrating one more milestone: They secured their refugee status, thanks in part to our translation and paperwork support.

I believe in second chances Denise Hodges Prevention Services Children’s Aid Staff When parents or guardians have a home life that puts their children at risk of foster care placement, Children’s Aid’s Prevention Services help them build the skills necessary to keep their families strong and united. Denise is the director of one of those interventions, Homemaker Services, where staff members spend many hours each week in clients’ homes and coordinate with social workers to strengthen daily life skills and provide medical and mental health support. Our homemakers help with improving hygiene and cooking practices, organizing home finances, creating a more reliable medication plan, and providing referrals. Denise is particularly proud of her team’s recent accomplishment: earning an accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), one of the most prestigious recognitions in the family services field.

I believe in her legacy Nicole Mozeliak Karolyn Wiede Memorial Fund Children’s Aid Supporter

In 2003, Nicole lost her daughter, Karolyn, to sudden infant death syndrome. Her cousin, who was a Children’s Aid supporter, established a memorial fund to honor Karolyn’s memory and support our medical foster care program. For two decades, Nicole and her friends, family members, and colleagues have contributed, ensuring other families experiencing medical crises with their children have the resources they need. Nicole and her network also contribute to our holiday drives. “Christmas was the only holiday I spent with Karolyn,” Nicole said, “so it seems appropriate to align my charitable giving with it.”

An education must provide more than strong academics; it must provide a springboard to opportunity.

Every step of the way — from the cradle through college graduation — we deeply engage parents and caregivers, educators, and supporters to ensure that children and youth have a responsive community network and can access the best opportunities to fulfill their incredible potential.

Children’s Aid’s holistic programs support children along their entire journey to acquire the academic, social-emotional, and life skills needed to achieve their dreams.

Our education toolkit includes: after-school and summer programs • college and career readiness • college persistence support • community schools • deaf and hard-of-hearing services • early childhood development • high school equivalency programs • mentorship • socio-emotional counseling

I believe in my generation Esteven, Age 18 Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School Children’s Aid Youth

“Generational poverty” is how Esteven describes his family history.

His grandparents lacked financial stability, his mother stopped school in third grade, and he was living in a homeless shelter when he joined Children’s Aid. But Esteven was determined to make sure that this history did not define his destiny. His participation in our multiple college and career readiness programs, as well as paid job apprenticeships, was just what he needed to begin financial independence. He also found his spark — social work — which he is now studying at Hunter College, aided by a Children’s Aid scholarship. “Children’s Aid really has changed my life, my confidence, and my self-worth.”

At many busy schools, it can be easy for students to fall through the cracks. But not if Denisse is there. As a youth advocate at one of our community schools, her singular focus is the “everything else” category that falls outside the scope of what teachers and guidance counselors focus on. Whether it’s Denisse Mejia getting food to struggling families, hosting anti-violence workshops to Community Schools address community gun violence, or simply offering words of encouragement, Denisse is the Children’s Aid Staff one-stop shop for removing roadblocks for students. Recently, as schools across the city struggled with worsening attendance issues, Denisse’s efforts helped her school reduce chronic absenteeism.

I believe in inspiration Stacey-Ann Easy Garden of Dreams Foundation Children’s Aid Partner

After restarting in-person arts programming, Stacey and the team at the Garden of Dreams Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Madison Square Garden, relished being able again to yell, “Lights, camera, action!” The foundation offers young people Emmy Awardwinning television production mentorship opportunities, an annual youth talent show at Radio City Music Hall, and four-year college scholarships. Stacey also loves connecting celebrities with our youth, saying, “The inspiration goes both ways. The young people are awestruck — but their courage, confidence, and resilience also wows our celebrities.”

We believe in health 30,382 food packages were distributed to families in need.

50,000 medical, dental, and mental health appointments were provided.

16

Children’s Aid

In New York City, child health care coverage is almost universal.

Unfortunately, access is not.

By basing sites in schools and community centers, Children’s Aid is able to bring comprehensive care directly to neighborhoods that historically have been underserved and that continue to lack easy access to primary care, preventive care, and mental health services. We are able to further extend our impact by providing home-based supports virtually and in person.

Children’s Aid delivers high-quality services where they are needed most to reduce health disparities, ensuring that more children grow up strong.

Our well-being toolkit includes: at-home care • case management • community- and school-based clinics • fitness activities • food access • health insurance support • nutrition and health education • preventive, dental, and mental health care • screenings • teen-targeted support • telemedicine

I believe in caring Emmaley, Age 17 Health Ambassadors Children’s Aid Youth

One might wonder where Emmaley, at just 17 years old, found her motivation to become a licensed practical nurse.

“Being a part of the Children’s Aid Health Ambassadors was extremely helpful in realizing my medical path,” said Emmaley.

In this program, she has educated peers at Curtis High School on Staten Island about teen health issues and has encouraged them to visit our school-based health center for checkups. And as someone with diabetes, Emmaley was inspired to become like the caring nurses at our school-based health center who monitor her blood sugar levels, change her insulin pump, and have even intervened during medical emergencies at school.

I believe in empowerment Cameron Rodriguez Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Children’s Aid Staff As the lead educator of our Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program, Cameron knows a thing or two about trusting young people to make responsible decisions.

He oversees a “waist-up” sex ed curriculum, which includes lessons about reproduction and safe sex while also focusing heavily on the most important sex organ in the body: the brain. This past year, Cameron helped hundreds of youth understand Roe v. Wade, the contraceptives and medical tests at our health clinics, and our academic and career opportunities, all while emphasizing that having a plan for the future is the best strategy to make good decisions about sexual health.

I believe in outreach Lenord Antoine NYC Health + Hospitals, Test & Treat Children’s Aid Partner

When NYC Test & Treat Corps looked for partners to test and vaccinate America’s most populated city for COVID-19, they turned to a leader working in the hardest-hit communities: Children’s Aid. The Corps stationed mobile units at our sites, administering 2,500-plus vaccinations and nearly 16,000 tests. They also worked with us and recording artist Cher to offer the CherCares mobile vaccination unit to teens at our sites and at city public schools. Lenord, a mobile unit nurse, said, “This was the best experience in my 15 years of nursing — caring for children who hold our future in their hands.”

Belief connects us all For 170 years, Children’s Aid has helped New York children and families thrive during even the most uncertain times.

This has required continuous adaptation to fine-tune our program models, expand the reach of our services, and provide greater access to resources. Moreover, we have responded to the shifting landscape of child poverty by advocating for policies (at the local, state, and national levels) that benefit our young people. Ultimately, the ability to transform as an organization stems from our desire to help others see beyond limitations and lead successful, healthy, and productive lives.

FY 2022 Financial Report Child poverty is caused by a wide variety of complex factors, which is why our comprehensive network of 100-plus programs addresses all aspects of a child’s development.

Donors who invest in our work understand the importance of this strategy and the interconnectedness of our work. And, as validated by a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, Children’s Aid ensures donor gifts are both efficiently and effectively used.

Key financial highlights for fiscal year 2022, ending June 30, 2022, are presented below.

Our $157.2M operating revenue and $149.5M operating expenses resulted in a $7.7M operating surplus. Programs accounted for 81% of expenses; management, general, and fundraising accounted for the remaining 19%. Non-operating items for investment performance and pension results often have large swings in a given year. In fiscal year 2022, these created an overall deficit, while in the previous year they created a surplus.

We continue our strong financial standing with diversified sources of government, private, and internal funding, and a balance sheet with total assets of $513M. Visit ChildrensAidNYC.org/about/financials for the full audited financial statements and more information.

400 supporters attended our annual Children’s Aid Benefit, 243 golfers sold out two Golf Classic tournaments, and 15 charity runners logged 314 race miles to help fund our programs and services.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a child’s face light up when they receive a holiday gift or a much-needed winter coat. In-kind gifts help us meet the individual needs of each child.

During times of personal joy or sorrow, thinking of others is a uniquely selfless act. Tribute gifts infuse meaning into milestones and prolong legacies of those we’ve lost.

Diamond, Age 3 Richmond Early Learning Center Children’s Aid Preschooler

When Diamond encountered severe challenges communicating and interacting with others, we provided just what she needed to find her voice. Our customized interventions helped her develop her language skills, and our low student-teacher ratio offered Diamond the face-to-face verbal interaction she needed to excel. She was one of 150 preschoolers with developmental delays supported by our dedicated early childhood staff last year. Now, Diamond has made noticeable progress and is displaying greater confidence in everything from speaking to socializing and playing. Diamond is incredibly happy that she can keep up with her classroom activities, often turning to her friends to say: “I did it!”

Now, she’s more confident, excels at school, and realizes her own potential.
