Mission-driven, results-oriented thinking is our cornerstone.

Leadership Over the past 16 months, we have sent no fewer than six emails to our staff solely to address a palpable anxiety stemming from the uncertainties in our country and the impact on our communities. Our staff, so fiercely dedicated to their work, truly become conduits for the feelings and emotions of the kids and families we serve. We as leaders need to respond.

During this time, we launched the new Children’s Aid brand, with which we hope you have become better acquainted.

A fundamental component of this brand is a reconception of how we organize—and think about—our work: Learn. Grow. Lead.

Learn and Grow are obvious, inextricable from our collective instincts on what a thriving childhood looks like. To Lead is to go beyond. For children and youth, it’s seeing the opportunity to shine and seizing it. For parents and caregivers, it’s being the strong backbone of the family, which all young people need.

And for us? It means rising above all of the noise and rhetoric, acting with strength and clarity, and infusing everything we do with vision and compassion. Your vital investment in our mission makes every element of that work possible— and makes you a fundamental part of us, the Children’s Aid family.

At Children’s Aid, we say Yes. Yes to a new narrative—one of inclusion, understanding, and support.

Yes to a society that cares and stands up for its children and youth.

Yes. It’s such a compact, simple word. And yet, it is the gateway to possibility, the key to opportunity and success. It is the hallmark of courageous leadership.

We believe very deeply that all kids—especially those living in neighborhoods racked by poverty, where the consequences of No have echoed for decades—should hear Yes loudly and clearly, and understand all that it signifies.

You are making Yes possible. Together, we Lead.

A legacy of strengthening families.

lear n Academic and Social-Emotional Learning

The Issue: The cognitive skills of 4-year-olds living in poverty lag 18 months behind the national average.

Our mission is anchored by an indisputable fact: Young people have the best chance to rise above the barriers of poverty when they succeed academically. Education neither begins nor ends inside the classroom. We have built a foundation of supports designed to position children and youth to thrive in school.

Education neither begins nor ends within the walls of a classroom.

At Children’s Aid:

91%

of our 4-year-olds are meeting or exceeding cognitive skills milestones.

Early childhood programs establish strong attendance behaviors and emphasize social-emotional learning. For school-age children, dynamic academic engagement extends beyond mandated class time, through services like enriching summer programs. College-admissions test prep and campus visits make higher education an achievable reality and not just a dream. Internships and summer youth employment teach workplace behaviors and shape aspirations of an independent adulthood.

Status Parent of three children ages 5, 4, and 18 months Location East Harlem Center CA Involvement Early Childhood programs, Children’s Aid Board of Trustees, Early Childhood Parent Policy Council

Pennylane

has been part of the Children’s Aid family since early childhood when she attended pre-kindergarten at our East Harlem Center. Growing up with cerebral palsy presented challenges that were alleviated by the expert medical care she received at our Milbank Center, where she also joined the after-school program.

Now the mother of three kids, she says Children’s Aid is the place she goes for answers. “I came here with questions after finding out I was pregnant with my third child,” she said. “I came here with questions about my husband’s immigration status. I know that I can come here even if I need a place to cry.”

Two years ago, Pennylane joined our Early Childhood Parent Policy Council and quickly demonstrated her leadership talents. As a result, this fall she was elected to the Children’s Aid Board of Trustees as a parent representative.

She is thrilled to be helping other families who may be facing challenges – this time as a leader. She credits the East Harlem Center for the development and success of her two oldest, Ximena, 5, and Mateo, 4.

“My kids love everything about this place,” said Pennylane, “the food, the teachers, they love the custodian. They have perfect attendance.”

And Francisca, 18 months, is following in their footsteps in our toddler program. Pennylane proclaims, “To me, she is always the happiest kid in the room!”

My kids love everything about this place— the food, the teachers... they have perfect attendance.

gro w Health and Nutrition

The Issue: 57% of NYC students have received no sexuality education entering high school, a potential health crisis.

For children and youth to thrive in school and life, they need to grow up strong and healthy. All of our health and nutrition programs are designed to permeate family life. We have tailored them to address the whole body and all aspects of behavioral wellness.

Strong, healthy children and youth thrive— in school and life.

At Children’s Aid:

6,211

young people received sexuality education across the year through either our Health and Wellness or Adolescence divisions.

A full array of physical, dental, and behavioral health services provide more than 9,000 young people with access to the high-quality care every person deserves. Fitness and creative expression are fundamental to youth realizing their potential. Counseling and wellness education empower young adults to make sound decisions that will endure for their lifetime. Kids and families have a host of ways to embed nutrition into their lives.

Student, age 18

Location Bronx Health Services CA Involvement JAM Peer, Next Generation Center Job Prep Academy Interests Basketball

Mohamed

is a busy young man as he completes his last year at Manhattan Hunter Science High School. In addition to finishing up his high school credits and completing the college application process, he is enrolled in courses at CUNY’s Hunter College and playing on his school’s basketball team. He’s also educating his peers as a Children’s Aid Just Ask Me (JAM) mentor.

Mohamed and 15 other teen mentors facilitate after-school workshops for youth in Harlem and the South Bronx that address the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections as well as building healthy relationships. “Sexual health is something people should talk about,” said Mohamed. “When I’m talking with my friends it comes up. I can take the lead and steer them away from stereotypes.”

The JAM Peers program is part of our work to ensure that teens can navigate the most complicated elements of childhood and realize their fullest potential. Mohamed envisions his own potential in a career as a civil engineer, one he’s sure to thrive in. His work as a JAM Peer is instrumental to our capacity to reach thousands of youth every year and encourage safe, healthy decisions. In doing so, Mohamed plays a major role in helping others see success and independent adulthood in their own future.

Sexual health is something people should talk about.

When I’m talking with my friends, I can take the lead.

lead Family and Community

The Issue: Only 2-7% of foster care youth earn a college degree nationally.

Children’s Aid is in the opportunity business.

Not only do we offer kids the chance to shine, but we provide parents and caregivers with the tools needed to strengthen and lead their families while advocating for themselves and their communities.

Young people excel with strong families and communities behind them.

At Children’s Aid:

$

million

New York State funding secured to support youth in foster care to attend college and succeed.

Strong communities play a powerful role in supporting families, and we partner with government and other nonprofits to foster and build on a community’s strengths.

Effective advocacy produces increased funding and drives public policy in a direction that supports our children, youth, and families.

Status Mother of son, age 14 Location Bronx Family Center CA Involvement Community schools, advocate for South Bronx Rising Together and Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative

Beverly

used to spend nights on the sidewalk outside the Port Authority, struggling with her substance abuse problem. Just months ago, she was virtually in the same spot but 15 stories higher, at The New York Times headquarters, as she stood in front of business and nonprofit executives, discussing the epic reversal she has engineered for her life.

She came to Children’s Aid when she wanted a better life, and academic success, for her son Jabari. She also found a new direction for her life.

“Children’s Aid helped me be a better advocate for my son and for myself,” said Beverly.

Once incarcerated, Beverly now holds one college degree, is in pursuit of a second at Hunter College, and has her eye on getting a Ph.D. She holds a seat on CUNY’s system-wide student senate. And she has been an invaluable steering committee member of the Children’s Aid-led Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative in the Bronx.

“The hardships I’ve faced in my life have really prepared me for this,” said Beverly. “I felt empowered when people asked me what I thought about a decision that had been made. I spent most of my life not realizing I had a voice. Learning how to advocate for Jabari changed my life and made me a leader.”

Children’s Aid helped me be a better advocate for my son and for myself.
