Saving Children’s Lives and Building Healthy Families Since 1894

A not-for-profit agency, The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey is a catalyst for creating child-centered, family-focused, diverse communities through a continuum of services. Our inclusive programs for children and families support child welfare and adoption, pregnancy from prenatal through postnatal care, nutrition, parent education, early childhood and youth development, counseling, and grandparents and kin raising their grandchildren. We proudly sponsor federal WIC, 21st Century Community Learning Centers and Head Start/Early Head Start programs. In all we do, we strive to be guided by our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion values.

What makes us unique?
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.

Please join us as we help communities throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania thrive!
