May is National Foster Care Month, an observance that has special meaning at The Child Center of NY. The Child Center operates four Prevention and Family Support programs for families with children at risk of abuse, neglect, or foster care placement, or who simply need help with parenting challenges.

On Thursday, March 10, members of the Child Center team joined 1,500 fellow human services workers and their allies in City Hall Park for the #JustPay Rally. Launched last fall, #JustPay is a citywide advocacy campaign among human services nonprofits like The Child Center to call on our elected officials to end government-sanctioned poverty wages for our workforce.
