Forestdale: A Legacy of Care and Support

Since 1854, Forestdale has been dedicated to helping children and families grow together. With deep roots in Brooklyn, the organization has evolved from the Brooklyn Industrial School Association and Home for Destitute Children to a modern child welfare agency focused on family support and foster care. Today, Forestdale is the only child welfare agency headquartered in Queens, New York, committed to serving as a vital resource for families in need.

Innovative Services for Families

Forestdale delivers innovative, evidence-based services that promote healing, resilience, and opportunity for children and families. The organization partners with schools, religious organizations, business owners, and community leaders to address the underlying causes of families in crisis. With a three-and-a-half-acre campus featuring open fields, a basketball court, and a playground, Forestdale provides a nurturing environment where families can connect and thrive.

Impacting Lives in the Community

The mission of Forestdale is to ensure that children and families have the fundamental assets to thrive and live independently. By focusing on ending the intergenerational transmission of poverty and trauma, Forestdale is making a significant impact in the lives of families throughout Queens and Brooklyn.
