Day 28

Children's Aid and Family Services

I volunteered some of my time this past summer with this organization that serves my area of NJ.

Children's Aid and Family Services preserves, protects and, when needed, provides families.  Motivated by compassion for vulnerable children, young adults, frail elderly and their families, we provide high quality and innovative services that meet their social, educational and emotional needs.

We believe that vulnerable and wounded children, as well as all human beings, have the capacity to learn, to heal, and to grow.  We believe that interdependent relationships that practice and teach mutual respect, responsibility, honesty and permanency play an integral and powerful role in a person's growth and development at all stages of life.  Furthermore, we believe that self-sufficiency is intrinsic to human dignity and to society's health and prosperity.
