Description
Our vision:
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.

Would you recommend Children's Home Society?
I see the hard work the team does for our community children
This is a awesome way to really make a difference virtually when you can't go directly to volunteer
Children are our future, they need the essentials to succeed in life. It does not matter where or who they come from, we should all connect together to fulfill their needs.
All children need to feel safe!
