The Children’s Village

The Children’s Village, based in Dobbs Ferry, New York, supports children, teens, and families through programs focused on keeping families together, providing temporary care and treatment when youth cannot remain at home, supporting youth development and transitions, and strengthening communities.

Its work includes foster-care partnerships, mental-health and crisis supports, and community- and school-based programs that help young people stay engaged in school and work toward graduation. Programs described by the organization include after-school activities, parenting and life-skills support, leadership and career training, counseling, family mediation, youth employment support, and temporary shelter for runaway, homeless, or exploited teens.

The organization also develops affordable housing connected to transportation, schools, parks, and essential amenities. Its housing work includes homes for families and apartments for young adults who have aged out of foster care or another youth-serving system. Learn more on The Children’s Village’s official website.
