[WestchesterChildren @WCA4kids]

During the 1930s, 20% of 18-20 year olds were in school. In response, the WCA focused on these youth to create vocational training and placement services that could work within their means.
WCA was focused on youth engagement then and still is now.

"In that moment I realized that if I, an adult, wasn’t fully aware of my rights when confronted by law enforcement, how could I possibly expect my children to navigate similar situations by themselves?"

Only 300-450 individuals are alive now that would have been alive at the founding of the WCA 110 years ago. Our mission has remained essentially the same since our founding: speak up for the children of Westchester.

We're watching for a budget that upholds NY's commitment to cut child poverty statewide!
That budget will permanently invest in policies proven to reduce poverty: robust child tax credits (#NYWFTC), accessible & affordable child care, #SchoolMeals4All, and #HAVP.
