Information
Organization's Own Description:
The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), the nation’s oldest and largest membership-based child welfare organization, has been known and respected as a champion for children since 1920. Our primary objective is to make children, especially our most vulnerable children, a priority in the United States. To do that, we must engage all Americans in promoting the well-being of children and young people and protecting them from harm.
Right now, millions of our children and young people lack the prerequisites for success, like adequate housing, health care, and nutrition. Thousands are exiled to the outskirts of opportunity. Each year, on average, reports of abuse and neglect involve more than 2.8 million children, and three children die every day from maltreatment.
In the face of this ongoing tragedy, CWLA holds up a vision of an America in which families, neighborhoods, communities, organizations, and federal state and local governments work together to ensure that all our children have the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong. CWLA reshapes priorities, one community at a time, by bringing people together around common goals, sharing ideas that have been shown to work, and facilitating collaboration across sectors and systems.
