What We Believe
The Coalition is a child welfare nonprofit that has been serving youth and families in the St. Louis region for 35 years.
There are systemic gaps and barriers in permanency and stability for children and youth impacted by the child welfare system. The Coalition strives to eliminate these gaps and barriers through innovative programming that facilitates healthy, culturally competent, safe, and nurturing homes and communities for children and youth.
Founded in 1989, the Coalition has emerged as an innovative national leader in foster care reform. It’s simple: our innovative approach works.
