Through our Village model, we provide family-based alternative care to children and youth with foster care experience. This includes support to youth, kids, and caregivers through residential services, program and support services, and wraparound care.
We believe in keeping siblings together and in family strengthening, creating a sense of community and belonging, and in educating and empowering children to become contributing members of society.
SideBySide Children’s Village Society supports families and vulnerable kids because we believe every child should grow with love, respect, and security.
