The CFCS Permanency Priority enhances all agency programming through re-envisioning our focus on permanency to achieve even more positive outcomes for each youth that we serve.

Our work in the community is founded on 3 core principles: we help families PROTECT, NURTURE, and LAUNCH children into successful adulthood. Click to learn more about our programs and services.

Permanency is our goal whenever possible. Finding a caring adult and loving family for every child we serve is our utmost priority.

CFCS is honored to be one of 100 local nonprofits to receive a $100,000 grant from the Cummings Foundation!

Finding children and youth a permanent or "forever" family and support system is the main goal of our Adoption program. Learn more about becoming an adoptive parent and the impact you can have on a child's life.

Our residential programs help young men and women prepare for aging out of foster care and successfully transition into adulthood.

Throughout the year, the YPC will have events and other engagement opportunities to help support CFCS programs serving children and families in more than 100 Massachusetts communities.
