Biographical History
The Children's Aid Society (CAS) of Pennsylvania was organized in 1882 to provide care for children in need. It remains active today. From its inception, CAS has addressed children's needs with a family perspective. The Society's first interest was in keeping families together, as long as it was beneficial to the children. When that was not possible, or practical, CAS worked to provide a family environment for the children it served, favoring placement in foster homes, often in the country, over institutions. CAS also encouraged adoption. Throughout its history, the Children's Aid Society has been a pioneer in child welfare work and a leader in movements to improve conditions for children in Pennsylvania.
