Children’s Home Society of New Jersey

Saving children's lives and building strong families is the mission of The Children's Home Society of New Jersey (CHSofNJ). Founded in 1894 as the state's first orphanage, CHSofNJ has grown into a multi-dimensional child welfare and social service agency. CHSofNJ advances its mission through services and activities in five general areas: school-based youth development; early childhood and parenting education; child, family and maternal health; behavioral and mental health; and child welfare, permanency and kinship services.
