About us

Children need families, and families sometimes need support.

Cayuga Centers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring children have a safe, loving home.

We work to keep families together, and unite those who have been divided. 

That might mean a temporary foster stay while problems at home are resolved. In the case of unaccompanied migrant children, it means providing a foster home during the process of identifying a parent or sponsor, and doing everything possible to ensure a speedy and safe return.

We also provide medical and psychological support, advocacy, learning and cultural enrichment.

We’ve come a long way since our founding as a home for destitute children in 1852. But we’ve never lost sight of our mission: to help children and families, whatever their circumstances.
