About
The Children's Village, formerly the New York Juvenile Asylum, is a private, non-profit residential treatment facility and school for endangered youth. It was founded in 1851 as a public-private venture between the State Legislature and 24 citizens of New York who were concerned about growing numbers of street children in New York. The necessity for such an institution was first proposed by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, which helped to get it started. It has since expanded its programs to support children and families in various capacities.
