Every Child Healthy, Safe And Prepared For Life's Challenges

WCA's Mission

Every child healthy, safe, and prepared for life’s challenges

Since 1914, WCA has remained steadfast in its mission: to improve the lives of Westchester’s children by shaping policies and programs to meet their needs, and by keeping the well-being of Westchester’s children at the top of the public agenda.

  • WCA identifies the needs of Westchester’s children and youth, develops innovative responses to those needs and advocates for policies and programs that benefit children.
  • WCA is a valued resource for policy makers and the media on issues affecting children because we are independent, knowledgeable and effective.
  • WCA is non-partisan and is not limited by ties to any political group, organization or funding source.
