The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of New York City’s children and families by providing child welfare, juvenile justice, and early care services. In child welfare, ACS contracts with private nonprofit organizations to support and stabilize families through community-based programming and preventive services and provides foster care services for children not able to safely remain at home. Each year, the agency’s Division of Child Protection responds to more than 50,000 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. In juvenile justice, ACS manages and funds services including detention and placement, intensive community-based alternatives for youth, and support services for families. ACS is also a key part of NYC’s early childhood and education continuum, providing childcare assistance to thousands of child welfare involved and low-income children so they can access safe, affordable, quality care.

The Institute for Leadership Development (ILD) plays a crucial role in enhancing the capabilities of child welfare and youth justice leaders. ILD is rooted in a leadership competency framework – developed by the National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) – that defines the standards of performance excellence to guide child welfare and youth justice leaders as they advance effective practice. ILD invites leaders to invest in their careers and realize their leadership potential. It is a partnership between ACS and the City University of New York’s Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work.
