The Children's Aid Society

C. Warren Moses was named chief executive officer of The Children’s Aid Society in October 2005. He had been executive director of the agency, one of the nation’s largest non-profit, non-sectarian children’s services providers.

Since he became Chief Executive Officer, Moses has set several priorities for the agency. His first priority after assuming leadership was to focus on teen programming. In addition, the health of all the children and families with whom we work is a top priority. Moses is extending existing programs and initiating new curricula to make sure that children of all ages, from early childhood on, their parents and staff are working to prevent obesity with greater fitness and better nutrition. Also planned are expansions of our Bronx Next Generation Center and Children’s Aid’s juvenile justice and PINS (Persons in Need of Supervision) programs.

Moses has held a series of progressively more responsible positions since joining Children’s Aid in 1969. He has been executive director (2002), associate executive director (2000) and chief of operations (2000). He was the principal architect of Children’s Aid’s Community School program, which began in 1992 and currently includes 22 New York City public schools. Children’s Aid community schools combine the best features of schools and community centers; Children’s Aid provides extensive out of school time programming, including academic support, enrichment and instruction in the arts, as well as extensive health and social services in the schools. In addition, Moses played a significant role in the development of Children’s Aid’s teen pregnancy prevention program and other key programmatic areas.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Moses attended Springfield College in Massachusetts and earned his master’s degree at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work. He spent his early working years with the YMCA of greater Pittsburgh and prior to joining The Children’s Aid Society, worked in residential treatment centers for emotionally disturbed children and at Berkshire Farm for Boys, which treats juvenile delinquents. He also worked as the Director of Teen Programming at the Lenox Hill Neighborhood Association in Manhattan.

He and his wife, Dolores, have four sons and nine grandchildren, and live in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
