CHJC helps youth, adults and families succeed and thrive in both good times and bad. We are the largest human services organization in Northern New York.  We are also the oldest non-profit in the region, serving Northern New York communities for 160 years. While our roots are in child welfare services, we have recognized the needs of the Northern New York community and grown to serve adults and families as well. With a staff of nearly 300 committed employees, we are passionate about helping youth, adults and families overcome adversity by using a strength-based approach providing a strong support network so people can help themselves. These services cover youth development, youth and adult health services, foster care and family permanence and programs for at-risk youth and their families.

In response to the ever-changing needs of youth and adults in our community, CHJC has transformed its services to deliver strength and support for people of all ages. Our on-campus residential services have evolved from what was formerly known as an orphanage to a full spectrum of residential and community-based human services programs for people of any age living in Jefferson and surrounding counties.
