Child Welfare League of America

The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), founded in 1920, is the nation’s oldest and largest membership-based child welfare organization. We are committed to engaging people everywhere in promoting the well-being of children, youth, and their families, and protecting every child from harm. We envision a future in which families, neighborhoods, communities, organizations, and governments ensure that all children and youth are provided with the resources they need to grow into healthy, contributing members of society. CWLA is an association of 900 public and private nonprofit agencies that assist over 3.5 million abused and neglected children and their families each year with a wide range of services.
