Children’s Home Society of America members are leading organizations serving children and families in communities throughout the U.S. While services provided by our members vary, each strives to improve the lives of vulnerable children. Member agencies hold these core service goals in common:
Children’s Home Society of America is a charitable opportunity with an outstanding history, national scope and a proven network of adoption, early childhood development and family support services across the United States. CHSA members represent the country’s best opportunity to create positive change in the lives of children.
CHSA member agencies are committed to:
Eradicating child abuse in America. This year 1 million American children will suffer abuse and neglect—and more than 1,400 children will die at the hands of an abuser. www.nccanch.acf.hhs.gov
Finding families for children who need them. More than 134,000 children in the U.S. are currently waiting for “forever families” through the miracle of adoption.

Reducing the days a child spends in foster care. Each year, more than 85,000 children in foster care see their hope of adoption diminished because they have lived in foster care for three or more years.

Helping parents help their children meet critical development milestones. This year, American families are home to more than 20 million children under the age of five. www.childstats.ed.gov
Engaging American businesses in the work of protecting the country’s most important resource – the future employees and business leaders of America. More than 25 million businesses and 112 million workers will keep America strong this year.
