Help kids show up to school ready to learn by creating Back-to-School Supply kits. Sign up to create much needed resource kits at home or within an organization.
**Remote Project** Now thru August 31st. Whether you want to volunteer as an individual or organize a group, CHS remote projects allow you to make a difference in the lives of children and families in your area by creating your own project and plan. Positive academic experiences are essential to the confidence and potential of children in our community.

A world where children realize their full potential.
Our mission:Building bridges to success for children.
Our common bond:Caring - Integrity - Respect - Commitment - Leadership - Excellence
CHS leads the way in developing and delivering solutions that drastically change life trajectories for children and families.
We’re different because we invest in lasting solutions, not short-term fixes. We empower children and families to cross bridges that lead to success.
At CHS, we are reimagining the future of foster care. We’re creating a world where children are safer - where they don’t enter foster care in the first place. We’re addressing the root causes that lead to dangerous situations ... and we’re implementing one-of-a-kind solutions that will change the future for children, families and communities.
Together, We do good.CAUSE AREAS
