Strong communities are built brick by brick — through steady investment, trusted partnerships, and a long-term commitment to children and families.
When a Washington Heights mother enrolled her infant in our home-based early childhood program, she sought support preparing her child for preschool. Instead, she found a family advocate who helped secure food benefits when her work hours were reduced, a nurse practitioner who ensured developmental screenings were completed, and a network of educators and staff who knew her family by name. That same child now attends one of our community schools. He participates in after-school robotics, meets with a counselor in our school-based health center, and is thinking about high school and college. His family knows where to turn — whether the need is academic, medical, or related to the next stage of growth.
Our Mission
Children’s Aid helps children living in poverty to succeed and thrive. We do this by providing comprehensive supports to children, youth, and their families in targeted high-needs New York City neighborhoods.
This is how lasting progress is built — coordinated, sustained support that evolves as children grow. Health care alongside academics. Family stability alongside youth development. Services that adapt over time.
At a moment when families are navigating economic pressure and public systems are stretched thin, continuity matters more than ever.
In the pages that follow, you’ll see how this sustained commitment creates meaningful impact across early childhood, health, education, and youth development — block by block, community by community.
For more than 170 years, Children’s Aid has strengthened communities across New York City. With your partnership, we are building strong foundations today so tomorrow’s communities are more stable, resilient, and full of opportunity.
Vision
All children have access to the opportunities and supports they need to realize their fullest potential and lead successful, healthy, and productive lives.
Jill J. Olson Chair, Board of Trustees
Phoebe C. Boyer President and CEO
Real progress happens when a deep connection is made and support is sustained over time.
At Children’s Aid, we have created a blueprint to help New York City children, families, and communities thrive. Lasting impact begins by building an adaptable framework of support atop a strong foundation of know-how, trust, resources, and care. For more than 170 years, our organization has worked to ensure that young people facing poverty have access to the opportunities they need to learn, grow, and lead.
Our approach is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: no single service is enough. From early childhood education that builds literacy and confidence to comprehensive health care, social-emotional support, and family stabilization services, we provide a continuum of care designed to meet children and families where they are. By integrating services across schools, community-based programs, and partnerships into a coordinated system of care, Children’s Aid helps ensure that
young people are supported every step of the way as their needs evolve.
Together with our supporters, we are building more than individual success. We are building the conditions for resilient families, strong communities, and enduring opportunity across generations.
FAMILY
99 of families enrolled in our crisis interventions avoid foster care placements and forge a path toward maintaining strong, safe, and healthy homes.
EDUCATION
99 of 2025 four-year graduates in our targeted programs who applied were accepted to college, as compared to 75% of NYC students city-wide.
100 of early childhood students identified as needing dental support received dental care, establishing a lifetime of healthy smiles for our youngest learners.
LAYING THE FOUNDATION
Setting the stage for lifelong growth.
Children’s Aid provides the essential building blocks children, youth, and families need at each critical stage of development. We start in early childhood, where high-quality education helps young learners build curiosity, confidence, and skills needed for long-term academic success.
Families come to Children’s Aid through many entry points, and not every child begins with us in early childhood. Many arrive facing interconnected challenges that affect their ability to thrive, from health concerns to family instability and educational barriers.
Our approach is designed to respond to that reality. Academic support is linked with health care. Family stabilization services are connected to youth development opportunities. Social-emotional and behavioral supports are integrated into everyday learning environments. Rather than addressing challenges independently, we coordinate services so that children and families receive consistent, aligned support. This integrated model allows us to meet immediate needs while building long-term stability. Each touchpoint strengthens the next, creating a connected system of care that adapts as needs evolve.

Children’s Aid creates an environment where my child can learn safely and joyfully.
When Zeriah joined a home-based Children’s Aid early childhood program at two years old, she was quiet. With consistent engagement in a nurturing environment, she began to find her voice. She started to initiate conversations and form strong connections with her classmates, often taking on the role of classroom greeter. Today, Zeriah is preparing for kindergarten with growing confidence and a strong sense of independence.
Her mother, Nykia, has supported her daughter’s journey by actively working with our staff and other parents. She now serves as Chairperson of the Parent Committee, helping to facilitate deeper community involvement.
Their journey reflects how early learning programs can support not only a child’s development, but a family’s stability.

ADAPTING BY DESIGN
Evolving to provide holistic support.
Children’s Aid is designed to respond to change — both in the lives of the children and families we serve and in the communities where we work. Our approach is built to adapt, connect, and evolve as needs emerge.
Because families engage with Children’s Aid through multiple programs and services, we see their needs as part of a broader picture, not as isolated challenges. This allows us to connect support across different areas of a child’s life, ensuring that services reinforce one another and reflect the full context of each family’s experience.
In practice, this means support is continuously adjusted based on what families need most. A child receiving academic support may also be connected to health or counseling services. A family navigating housing or food insecurity may also receive assistance that strengthens long-term stability. Staff and programs work together to ensure these supports are aligned and responsive.
This approach allows Children’s Aid to meet immediate needs while also supporting long-term growth. It is what makes sustained progress possible for the children and families we serve.

I have come to understand who I am as a person. Children’s Aid helps me to see that.
Joseph entered Children’s Aid through the Summer Youth Employment Program at Hope Leadership Academy in Harlem, eager to gain work experience. What began as a summer placement quickly became a pathway to new possibilities.
Joseph’s consistent engagement led him to additional experiences where he continued building job readiness skills and expanding his horizons. As his confidence and abilities grew, staff connected him to a mentorship opportunity with J.P. Morgan — exposing him to professional environments and career pathways he had not previously considered.
Today, Joseph is preparing for his future through college and career readiness programming that combines hands-on experience, mentorship, and sustained guidance. His path reflects how exposure, opportunity, and support can expand what young people see as possible for themselves.

ENGAGE. SUPPORT. ADAPT.
Children’s Aid is designed to be responsive and sustaining over the long term.
When we say “Every Step of the Way,” our promise and commitment is to support children, families, and communities as they develop and evolve. We listen first, and then use our broad range of services, deep community-based resources, and decades of experience to help young people become who they want to be.
My team and I design our programming with the best practices in youth development and the flexibility to meet the dynamic needs of our young people.
Every Step of the Way
Creating an Informed and Responsive Plan
A teen walks through the doors of our Next Generation Center (NGC) in the Bronx. He has spent a few years in foster care. During the intake process, the staff learn he didn’t graduate high school and is currently at risk of homelessness. They determine he needs support transitioning into adulthood. Staff enroll him in GED classes, refer him to an employment coach, and connect him with a housing specialist.
Assessing Efficacy Along the Way
As he begins to visit NGC regularly to attend GED classes, our staff observe that he is struggling to balance everything and is overwhelmed by his situation. They notice he has trouble expressing himself, struggles with anxiety that significantly affects his daily life, and would benefit from additional types of support.
Adjusting to Meet Changing Needs
To navigate the big life steps on his horizon, he receives a referral to the mental health team to begin individual therapy sessions. He learns coping skills and exercises that help him to reframe negative thoughts and navigate stressful situations.
Supporting Youth Beyond the “Finish Line”
With new tools to manage his anxiety and greater confidence in navigating challenges, he completes his GED and is able to find employment to qualify for NYCHA housing. Children’s Aid staff will continue to work with him as he applies to college and prepares to take the next steps toward a brighter future.

FORGING CONNECTION
Building trust through consistency.
Trust is the foundation of Children’s Aid’s work. It is built through consistent relationships — with children and families, with schools and community partners, and with the neighborhoods where we have long-standing roots.
A child may build trust with a school counselor, a youth worker in an after-school program, or a staff member in a community center.
Families may engage with multiple services and staff, creating familiarity and continuity that strengthens engagement over time.
This trust makes it possible to provide support that is responsive and sustained. It allows staff to understand needs in context, to connect families to additional resources, and to ensure support feels consistent rather than fragmented.
Through a primary person model, Children’s Aid creates the conditions for children and families to feel seen, supported, and connected to a broader community of care.

In high school and now college, Children’s Aid has had an enormous impact on my life and my future.
Isobell’s connection began at Curtis High School on Staten Island through the Summer Youth Employment Program. What kept her coming back was the relationships she built with staff who encouraged her to challenge herself.
Isobell expanded her interests, stepped into leadership roles, and engaged more deeply in school life. Mentors remained a consistent presence, offering guidance and encouragement as she navigated decisions about her future. Those relationships helped broaden her perspective and better understand her own goals.
Today, she is studying Nursing and Chinese at Hunter College, but her connection to Children’s Aid remains. Her mentors are only a phone call away when needs them.

Ilene Pappert
Children’s Aid Staff Director (Retired)
For more than 50 years, Ilene has been a steady presence at Children’s Aid’s Goodhue Community Center on Staten Island. She began as a summer camp counselor in the 1970s, then took on various other roles before serving as director for 34 years, cementing Goodhue as a trusted and enduring community resource.
Ilene built connections personally — greeting children by name, supporting families through changing circumstances, and creating an environment where young people feel safe and special.
Now retired, Ilene’s impact extends well beyond her tenure. The center she helped build continues to serve new generations of children and families, with plans in place to ensure it remains a vital resource for years to come.
PROGRAM SITES
Brooklyn, Harlem, northern Staten Island, the South Bronx, and Washington Heights are among the areas in New York City that are hardest hit by poverty and its attendant challenges. We concentrate our services in these neighborhoods where they are needed most and work hard to become trusted members of the communities we serve.

I learned the power of community and advocacy at Children’s Aid. The lessons I learned there inform the way I show up for others.
Asher first engaged with Children’s Aid at ten years old, entering the East Harlem Community Center as a participant. The center was a safe place that became central to his sense of community and the relationships he forged with his peers and his mentor, David Giordano.
Those relationships and the values they instilled in him eventually brought Asher back to the center as a staff member where he mentors young people in the same neighborhood that raised him.
Now, he is helping to ensure that this space where children feel seen and encouraged continues to serve future generations. Asher heads the Youth and Education Committee on Community Board 11 that has played a key role in shaping the current rebuilding of our East Harlem Community Center.

ADVANCING GENERATIONS
Creating lasting change over time.
Children’s Aid is committed to helping young people achieve their dreams and build lives defined by opportunity, not limitations. Every day, we work to provide the building blocks that support academic success, health and well-being, and family stability.
Our impact extends far beyond the individual. When a young person gains access to resources and support, the benefits ripple outward, strengthening families and shaping the communities around them. Generational change begins with investing in children and a commitment to walking alongside them as they grow.
Through the dedication of our staff, the generosity of our supporters, and the resilience of those we serve, we are creating lasting pathways to opportunity — for today’s children and future generations.

It all began with my Aunt Tana and continued with my mom, Lydia. We are forever grateful to Children’s Aid.
Millie’s relationship with Children’s Aid spans five generations, beginning when she first walked into our East Harlem Community Center at five years old. Following her aunt — the first in their family to connect with us — Millie and her brothers quickly found a second home there. Her mother became part of the community as well, waking before dawn to run the breakfast program before going on to earn her social work certificate and serve as a mental health advocate.
As a young adult Millie worked at the center and earned a scholarship to attend college, building a brighter future for her family. The family legacy continues to grow today with Millie’s great-grandson who is currently enrolled. For so many other families, the East Harlem Center has been the heart of 101st Street for generations — a place where connections are built and achievements are carried forward.

We’ve enjoyed a long and rewarding partnership with Children’s Aid. Their work makes a real difference to young New Yorkers.
For more than a decade, Wayne Davis and the law firm of Tannenbaum Helpern have partnered with Children’s Aid to support its mission and expand its reach — a connection that has grown into a deep commitment grounded in shared purpose. Wayne engaged his colleagues thoughtfully along the way, fostering a culture that extends beyond financial support to active participation and advocacy.
Through this partnership, Tannenbaum Helpern has contributed to creating opportunities for children and families across New York City — supporting programs, engaging employees, and strengthening connections to the communities Children’s Aid serves. Tannenbaum Helpern’s continued commitment reflects an understanding that lasting impact is built over time through sustained partnership and shared investment in the future.

FY 2025 FINANCIAL REPORT
Every dollar entrusted to Children’s Aid is used with care and purpose to create opportunities for the nearly 50,000 children, youth, and families we serve each year.
The following page outlines financial highlights for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Children’s Aid reported $185.5 million in operating revenue and $190.5 million in expenses, resulting in a $5 million operating deficit. In response to increased need across the communities we serve, Children’s Aid made the strategic, intentional decision to draw on net assets built over time to sustain and strengthen programs and services. Program expenses accounted for 83% of total non-fundraising related spending, with 17% supporting management and general operations — reflecting a continued focus on delivering high-quality, direct services to children and families. Sustained donor support remains essential to maintaining this work and ensuring long-term financial stability.
Thanks to the support of Children’s Aid, I am confident expressing myself and making connections. I am excited about the possibilities.

Children’s Aid Supporters
For Janet and Jon Harrington, their support of Children’s Aid is grounded in a belief in the power of education to change a child’s future. Their commitment extends beyond giving. Jon plays a key role in our annual Golf Classic through his longstanding involvement with the Host Committee and his connection to Baltusrol Golf Club, where the event has been held for 27 years. Through his leadership, he has introduced new supporters into our work.
Janet and Jon recently funded five scholarships for Children’s Aid students to attend Jon’s alma mater, Clarkson University, closing each student’s remaining financial gap. By easing that burden, they are opening doors to higher education. Jon hopes this model will inspire others to engage their professional and academic networks to expand support for young people.

Visa and Visa Foundation are valued partners of Children’s Aid. With support from Visa’s Women’s Network and Visa Foundation, Visa employees have supported initiatives that directly benefit children and families, from hygiene kits for our Bronx health and youth centers, to participating in a gardening project at the Dunlevy Milbank Community Center. Visa employees also have the opportunity to attend Children’s Aid’s signature events: the Annual Benefit and the Annual Golf Classic.
In addition to volunteerism, Visa Foundation has made a significant financial investment into Children’s Aid through its Visa Foundation Gives initiative, which supports local communities on what they need most. What distinguishes this partnership is its breadth — spanning leadership, philanthropy, and employee engagement — and its alignment with a shared commitment to expanding opportunity for children and families across New York City.

As
Paul attends our early childhood program at P.S. 8 in Washington Heights. Full of energy and curiosity, he comes home each day with new lessons learned about the world. His parents stay involved in his education by participating in school activities, and they have been able to access additional Children’s Aid resources as needed. Through P.S. 8, their family has found support and community.
