Children’s Home Society of Florida delivers solutions to address the most pressing challenges affecting children and families in our communities. We believe in the potential of every child and family and build upon their strengths to empower them to realize their full potential. In all we do, we do good.   

As the largest and oldest statewide nonprofit in Florida dedicated to serving children and their families, we have built bridges to success for children and families since 1902. A leader in drafting key policies affecting children – from child labor laws to compulsory education laws – CHS continues to advocate for the best interests of children in Florida and throughout the nation. Annually, we serve more than 60,000 children, youth and family members through early childhood services; child welfare; counseling and other mental health services; Community Partnership Schools; and mentoring, outreach and job training. Though we have received several local, regional and national recognition for our programs, our health and wellness initiatives, implementing innovative practices and success in the adoption of children from the foster care system, we remain committed to meeting the unique needs in every community we serve.
