According to the Agency for Children’s Services, nearly 13,000 children were receiving foster care services in New York City in May 2013, and nearly 26,000 children’s families receiving services to prevent foster care placement in June 2013. As the City moves towards a community-based care approach for children, implementing strategies that seek to keep children connected with their home neighborhoods, schools, and extended families, religious leaders may have an important role to play as family advisors, counselors, and information brokers. Come join us for a one-day conference to learn from ACS experts, non-profit agencies and religious leaders.
