Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, & Belonging
The Child Center of NY is committed to excellence, delivering the highest quality services to those who need them most. Integral to this commitment, and our ability to fulfill our mission, is a dedication to sustaining a culture of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) — starting with our team.
Our Impact
Last year, we provided education and counseling services to 55,000 children and families. The children we see at The Child Center are up against incredible challenges. Parents often work long hours, do not speak or read English, and struggle with extreme poverty. Our comprehensive approach helps turn even the roughest start into a bright path where our children can compete and succeed.
