2015 ANNUAL REPORT
THE PROMISE OF A LIFETIME
The Children’s Aid Society 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.
The Right Services at the Right Time‌ Early Childhood

Message from CEO Dear Friends, I write this having just finished my first year with The Children’s Aid Society. There is a comfort in now knowing the rhythms of this organization, anticipating the many special experiences that last year were new to me. But what’s thrilling is seeing how much has changed over the last 12 months— how we have improved our services across the agency, and how we set the bar higher every single day. I took this job because I knew that a human services organization cannot exist for 162 years by doing the same thing over and over. Children’s Aid thrives because we seek a better way—with stronger outcomes—always. Data and results drive our work and the continued evolution of this agency. Every stride we take in battling chronic absenteeism, keeping young people intellectually engaged throughout the summer, or ensuring that foster youth achieve in their education yields a better number, certainly. But it also advances a mission that is wholly human. You support Children’s Aid because you share our vision of a New York City free of childhood poverty. It is an ambitious dream, but one worth pursuing. As a consequence of our efforts, thousands of young people at each stage in life realize their potential—in ways small and large—every year. And there is nothing more exciting than seeing that potential take shape, or the confidence and enthusiasm it arouses in a young face. By providing children and youth, and their families, with comprehensive supports, we will continue to knock down the barriers to learning and help them rise above poverty permanently. This is the promise of a lifetime, one we owe to all children no matter where they start out. This is how we turn the cycle of poverty into an arc of hope. Thank you for standing with us and investing in our children. With gratitude,
PHOEBE C. BOYEr

Message from Board Chair
Dear Friends, As I complete my first year as chair of the board, I am pleased to affirm that The Children’s Aid Society remains strong and our mission clear and focused. Our president and CEO Phoebe Boyer is leading the organization with determination, focus, and heart. Each of us is a steward of our enduring mission—to help New York City children living in poverty succeed and thrive. We must answer this powerful, urgent call to action now more than ever. The reality is that for so many families, the path toward a brighter future is daunting and discouraging—almost half of all children under age five in our city are living in poverty. The city has much work to do, and Children’s Aid expects to lead those efforts in some of the communities where the challenge is toughest. This is why we are as committed to Keeping the Promise as we have ever been. Keeping the Promise is our comprehensive vision and unifying strategy that focuses our human and financial resources on reducing poverty through our continuum of services from cradle through college. Our goal is to have both the programmatic interventions and the infrastructure needed to put as many of our children as possible on the path to college graduation. We all know that this is a complex endeavor, and we as a board are fully engaged in supporting this vision. We are proud of the past year’s accomplishments, as illustrated in this report. Yet, every day we are reminded of how far we have to go. The Board of Trustees will continue to provide strong strategic direction to ensure that we achieve all of our goals, and that we have the funds to support this most critical work. I thank all of you for your commitment to Children’s Aid and the young people and families we serve. I finish my first year as chair of the Board of Trustees with tremendous hope and confidence. And I look forward to another year of hard work on behalf of every child we serve. For each of them, the opportunity should exist to make their dreams a reality. Sincerely,
Iris Abrons Chair, Board of Trustees

The Promise of a Lifetime We promise our children all kinds of things: to read them a story, to take them on a bike ride, to cook their favorite meal. These promises are finite and easily fulfilled. The promise of a lifetime is anything but. Its foundation is the centerpiece of our work
We nurture the youngest minds so that they are ready to soar.
at Children’s Aid: an unwavering conviction that all children, no matter where they come from, have limitless potential and the capacity for greatness. Further, we believe that all of us owe them the opportunity to make good on that potential. At Children’s Aid, we aim to help young people—and their families—living in poverty succeed and thrive. We do so through a meticulously crafted, data-driven continuum of services supporting every stage of life, from cradle through college. We nurture the youngest minds so that they are ready to soar. We keep students healthy and happy, in the classroom, and poised for success. We provide young adults with a steadying hand so that college graduation is a reality and not just a dream. At the end of this pathway, men and women walk into the adult world breaking out of a cycle of poverty. They carry with them that promise of a lifetime—its essence unchanged, its composition fortified by achievement, and its destination always the next generation.
