Northern Children's Services

Northern Children's Services "We help children, youth, and families do better today so that we all do better tomorrow."

Everything we do at Northern Children’s Services is designed to create a better future for our families. We believe that every child and youth has the potential to transform themselves – no matter their background or life situations. If we invest in that potential through services that focus on care, safety, health, permanency, independence, and positive relationships, then children, youth and their families will lead happier and healthy lives.

🎉 Celebrating the people who make Northern such a special place to work!

Our recent All Staff Meeting brought team members together for a day of connection, collaboration, and fun. From scavenger hunt challenges to shared laughs and meaningful conversations, the day was a reminder that the strength of our work comes from the incredible people behind it.

When we invest in building relationships with one another, we strengthen our ability to support the children, youth, and families we serve every day. Thank you to our dedicated staff for bringing your energy, creativity, and commitment to Northern's mission.
