ORGANIZATION The Children's Alliance is a completely fee-free organization -- all services are provided as needed to every client without charge. However, with the exception of the Victim Services Program, clients must be referred through a DHS or Police report. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Alliance is totally funded by contributions and grants from foundations, corporations, government and individuals. A 20-member Board of Directors governs the Children's Alliance with member professionals drawn from all walks of life - law, government, medicine, law enforcement, social services, business, and marketing. To assure professional diversity and vested interest in the Alliance, the board includes seven mandated positions encompassing directors from partner agencies - The District Attorney's office, Department of Human Services, Police Department, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Support Center for Child Advocates. Several committees and a strong cadre of volunteers assist the work of the Alliance. Active Board committees include Development, Finance, Personnel, and Program. Volunteers and members of committees assist with fund raising activities, specifically the annual Bear Affair; with child development and recovery in the Children's Self-Esteem Groups; in collecting and distributing Teddy Bears; and in countless other ways. Staff positions and members of the Board of Directors are provided through the links below. Please note that as a small social service agency, job openings are rare. Candidates will be considered when an opening occurs and resumes may be sent to the Executive Director or to info@philachildrensalliance.org. Board Members Staff Members
