The Child Center of NY: Strengthening Family. Building Community Founded in 1953 as a children’s counseling center in Queens, The Child Center of NY has become a powerful community presence throughout the city, closing the gap for kids and families in NY’s under-resourced communities.

We are always on the lookout for new talent in a variety of both in-the-field and behind-the-scenes positions. We serve children from birth to adulthood with effective, innovative programs in six critical areas: Early Childhood Education, Behavioral Health, Health Homes and Integrated Care, Prevention and Family Support, Youth Development, and, now, Residential Services. We know that with the right skills, education, and emotional support – tools that we provide — children of any background can build a happy, healthy, and fulfilling future.
