There are children in your community who need you!
You can be the difference for a child in need by opening your home as a foster family. Foster families provide temporary, loving care to children who cannot live safely at home. Foster parents are needed for infants, toddlers, teens, children with special needs and sibling groups.
Our foster parents are married or single, have a lot of experience with children or while having no direct experience, are interested in working with children, represent the LGBTQ community, come from a variety of cultures and ethnicities, or may decide to foster with another family member. The foster parents of the Children’s Aid Society represent the diversity of our city. (more…)
SHARE Newspaper published an article on December 1, 2011 about Toronto Children’s Aid Youth visiting Washington, D.C. as part of the Soul Journey V experience.
On Sunday September 25, we hosted over 40 leaders and community members from Toronto’s Muslim community at a breakfast meeting at our head office on Isabella St. The purpose of the meeting was to share with the community the work that our Services to Muslim Families Advisory Committee has done over the past three years and to provide information to the Muslim community about how they can become involved with us through fostering, adopting, kinship care or volunteering.
A brochure developed for the event outlines how we operate, our programs & services and opportunities to get involved with our agency. To download a copy click here.

The Society asks all clients, visitors, foster parents and volunteers to refrain from wearing scented products to Children’s Aid Society of Toronto premises.
Scented products can have negative health effects on people, particularly individuals with environmental hypersensitivities. The Society strives to provide an indoor air environment that reduces the risk of chemical hazards to staff, clients, visitors, foster parents and volunteers.
Help keep the air healthy for everyone.
