Northern Children's Services
Fostering healthy development of children and youth, while stabilizing families to build stronger communities.
Purpose
We believe that every child and youth has the potential to transform themselves – no matter their background or life situation.
Vision
Everything we do is designed to create a better future for our families. We believe that every child and youth has the potential to transform themselves – no matter their background or life situations. If we invest in that potential through services that focus on care, safety, health, permanency, independence, and positive relationships, then children, youth and their families will lead happier and healthy lives.
Mission
Northern remains steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that every child, youth, and family we serve has access to safety, healing, and opportunity. The challenges facing Philadelphia’s communities remain urgent—scarce resources, community violence, and the persistent challenges tied to poverty and trauma continue to shape the lives of the children and families we serve. At the same time, the broader landscape in the U.S. and the world is shifting. But we refuse to stand still.
