Edwin Gould Services for Children and Families, Inc.

Notes from the nonprofit

Now entering our 75th year, Edwin Gould’s Community of Care addresses the complex, and often overwhelming, issues that confront society today. Rooted in a history of services focused on the needs of orphaned children during the early years of the twentieth century, our programming now includes a comprehensive array of services incorporating evidence-based practices to address those in need across the life-span. Our cornerstone foster care and adoption services are joined by community-based preventive services designed to assist at-risk families; programming focused on the prevention of domestic violence, intervention to assist victims of such violence, and advocacy toward policy change; legal services for victims of domestic violence; criminal justice services; school-based programs; health and mental health services; vocational, day habilitation, and economic empowerment programming; and group living environments for developmentally disabled adults who wish to live independently.
