Covenant to Care for Children mobilizes and channels the
generosity of caring and faithful people to advocate for, mentor
and provide direct assistance to Connecticut’s children and
youth who are neglected, abused or at-risk.
Approved September 27, 2005
Covenant to Care for Children
works to create a future where all Connecticut children have caring
families and safe places to live and all caring and faithful people
demonstrate their own personal commitment to the welfare of
children.
Covenant to
Care for Children grateful for faith-based community support
Covenant to
Care for Children works with over 240 faith-based communities throughout
Connecticut. Many of our faith partners do special projects during
the year to support our children. Many of our faith partners host
mentoring groups that work with young people who are at-risk or may
have a parent in prison. The next few months our focus is on our
Adopt a Social Worker Program.
Covenant to
Care for Children is more than just a name, it is a core part of how
we approach our service to the abused, neglected and at–risk
children and youth of Connecticut. Through our Adopt a Social Worker
Program, faith-based organizations sign a covenant in which they
promises to care and provide for our children in a particular Social
worker’s caseload. These caring and faithful people provide those
things that go above and beyond what the State can provide and often
these gifts from the spirit allow a family to stay together or
reunite.
The work done
by those faith-based communities with a singed covenant involves
thousands of volunteers, amazing people who live their faith in
their actions. Below is a list of our current Covenant partner
organizations as of February 1, 2008. We wish we could acknowledge
all of the individuals who make up these communities. If your
faith-based community is part of this list take a moment to say
thank you to those in your community who head this effort and ask
them how you can participate. If your faith-based community does not
have a covenant with us, take the lead by calling us and arranging
for one of our program coordinators to visit and share the miracles
that this work produces. Even a small cash donation to Covenant to
Care helps us to reach out to more faith communities and help more
children. Read more
