This is accomplished through better coordination between and among service providers and supervisory agencies; more meaningful accountability; improved selection, implementation, supervision and evaluation of services; better management and research capabilities; and useful mechanisms to resolve interagency conflicts regarding the provision of services.

For 25 years, the Association for Children of New Jersey has been the voice for children, demanding action for children who have no power to wield, no vote to cast, no campaign contributions to make.

ACNJ’s roots are grounded in protecting abused and abandoned children. The association is part of an evolution that began in 1847, when the Newark Orphan Asylum was established. Over the years, other child-related organizations were created to care for orphans, foster children and children in troubled families. In 1978, two of those groups – the Citizens Committee for Children and Child Service Association – merged to form the Association for Children of New Jersey.
