Who are the Black Administrators in Child Welfare?
The Black Administrators in Child Welfare, Inc. is a group that was formed in 1971 and incorporated in New York in 1975. The organization was formed to address the reluctance of child welfare agencies to respond appropriately to need for specialized services for Black children and their families, and to press for the employment of Black professionals in responsible administrative positions. The organization also served as a support network for the small number of Black executives running child welfare and human service agencies.
TRAINING
The BACW offers comprehensive, unique training seminars that specifically explore the dynamics of cultural diversity, other-race foster and adoptive placements, and provide beginning and mid-level staff with a practical framework for managing human service programs and agencies.
