Overview

For the second time, The Association of Children’s Residential and Community Services (ACRC), in partnership with The Center for Youth Justice at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, and the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), is offering a Pathways to Organizational Excellence Certification.

The Pathways to Organizational Excellence Certification helps youth- and family-serving organizations strengthen their culture, improve teamwork, and build stronger connections with the communities they serve.

This year-long certification program supports organizations in becoming fair, community-centered, and responsive—so they can meet the real needs of their staff, youth, and families. Through hands-on training, personalized coaching, and practical tools, your team will learn how to make positive change that:
  • Becomes part of your organization’s everyday culture
  • Shows up in your policies, practices, and decision-making
  • Lasts through leadership or administrative transitions
At the end of the 12 months, your team will complete a capstone project that demonstrates how your organization has put these principles into action.
