For over 170 years, we have been there for children and families

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.

 

Become a Foster Parent

Opening up your home – and your heart – to a child in need can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Foster parents come from all backgrounds and all walks of life. And when fostering through Cayuga Centers, you can be sure of 24/7 guidance and support. We’re on your team.
