CHSOFNJ

From its beginning, CHSofNJ has adhered to the philosophy that each child should be cared for in a family home and loved the same as a child born to a family. Our founders did not agree with the prevailing practice of warehousing children along with adults in almshouses. Nor did they believe in loading New Jersey's local children onto orphan trains and sending them to the mid-west for placement with farm families... It is our culture at CHSofNJ since 1894. We listen. We help families and children decide what they want to achieve. We provide access to skills and knowledge and resources to inform life choices. Our passionate staff and board go the extra mile every single day. Our nationally recognized team of 300 staff and 900 volunteers delivers statewide services from 12 locations... The Children's Home Society of New Jersey was founded in 1894 and our mission was to find loving families for children, to protect children from harm, and to help parents find better ways to be parents..
