Children’s Aid Champions is an organized group of professionals who lend their time, expertise, and passion to our mission: ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead.

There is strength in numbers when it comes to battling for funding and influencing legislation. Collaborating with organizations of similar missions amplifies our collective voice.

The New York City business community has a long history of partnering with Children’s Aid. By supporting New York City’s neighborhoods—where we live, work, and raise our families—we help kids thrive.

From before they take their first steps until the day they walk into their kindergarten classroom, our littlest ones are ready to be healthy, lifelong learners.

Go!Healthy Eat Smart New York provides youth and their families with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy food choices and choose physically active lifestyles within their means.

While young people in foster care face huge challenges, they too aspire to a better future through college and will succeed at that level with the right support and resources.

New York State has a parental responsibility to the kids in its child welfare systems, and the alliance works to make sure our leaders are helping these young people realize their full potential.
 

Hands-on, sensory-based nutrition education and activities change the way children and youth—and their parents—think about food and health forever.

By educating city, state, and federal leaders about the struggles our families face — and how Children’s Aid succeeds in helping them — we can influence important decisions and implement generational changes.

A cornerstone of our community outreach is a commitment to provide children and youth with dedicated mentors who are there for them every step of the way.

Children’s Aid provides comprehensive substance abuse prevention services to those aged 11-21 to help them break down the barriers that threaten their achievement.

When a meaningful job experience is coupled with academic achievement, a young person has a much better chance of finding success and independence in adulthood.

We rely on group volunteerism from organizations that feel strongly about the well-being of fellow New Yorkers, and want to help provide children, youth, and families with the tools and support they need to fulfill their promise.
