What Makes Our Show Greener?
  1. Recycling/re-using set pieces and costumes.
  2. Utilizing MFTA and gathering wood products from BIGNYC (Build-It-Green).
  3. We have decided that our main sustainability effort is to do all marketing electronically.  So electronic postcards, etc. instead of printing. 
  4. We are also planning on recycling and reusing as many set
    pieces as possible, purchasing costumes either at thrift stores or through hand-me-downs.
  5. Limiting our printing of scripts and new pages as much as possible.

In a perfect world, every child would be nurtured by a loving family, attend a challenging and exciting school and live in a supportive community. But the sad reality is that not every child has these opportunities.

The Children’s Aid Society fills the gaps between what children have and what they need to thrive.

The Children’s Aid Society fills the gaps between what children have and what they need to thrive. We have been serving children for more than 150 years, a longevity that is a testament to our ability to adapt to the always changing needs of today’s youth. After all, you don’t succeed for 150 years by being old-fashioned.

Today Children’s Aid serves New York's neediest children and their families at more than 45 locations in the five boroughs and Westchester County. Our caring begins even before birth, through prenatal counseling and assistance, and continues through the high school years with college and job preparatory training programs. All aspects of a child’s development are addressed as he or she grows, from health care to academics to sports and the arts. And because stable children live in stable families, a host of services are available to parents, including housing assistance, domestic violence counseling and health care access.
