Mission: Founded in 1923, Lakeside Family & Children's Services is a multifaceted, voluntary, not-for-profit agency. We are a dynamic community-based foster care agency that serves more than 1,200 families, but still shares Edwin Gould's vision of promoting the welfare of children. Lakeside helps children and adolescents to access stable, loving foster, adoptive and group homes, independent living apartments and, via Pathways to the Future, an enhanced independent living program and offer individualized residential alternatives (IRAs) for people with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. Our Brooklyn-based Family Support Center provides complete diagnostic and counseling services for the severely emotionally disturbed.
