Repair the world, child by child.

JCCA's Mission:

JCCA's mission is based on a heritage of providing quality services to children and their families, and the universal mandate within the Jewish tradition of tikkun olam — the responsibility of every person to make the world a better place.

Our mission is to meet the child welfare and mental health needs of all children and their families in the New York metropolitan area. At the same time we are committed to providing services to Jewish children and their families in support of Jewish continuity. Our highly trained, dedicated staff works collaboratively with families to build on their strengths, preserve the family when possible, and help create new families when necessary, so that all children may thrive by having a sense of family, culture and community. We believe in our obligation to repair the world, child by child.

JCCA Services:

JCCA, formerly known as Jewish Child Care Association, provides comprehensive care to thousands of children, young people and families who come from New York's many diverse communities. Since 1822, we have embraced those who need us most -- abused, neglected and traumatized young people who are struggling with poverty, developmental disabilities and complex mental illness. We also work with disadvantaged Jewish immigrants and with Jewish children and their families in support of Jewish continuity. Our programs include foster and residential care, educational assistance and remediation, case management for young people with mental health challenges and services to families to prevent child abuse and maltreatment. JCCA offers safety, stability and lifesaving support to help our clients transform their lives. JCCA programs help more than 17,000 children and families annually.
