The goals of Community Access Network are to ensure the safety of each child, support and strengthen biological/foster families, and promote the healthy development of all children. The agency’s goals include, but are not limited to the following:

• Ensure that each child placed with the agency is safe, protected, and treated with dignity.
• Recruit, train, retain and support qualified staff and resource parents.
• Work diligently to reunify children with their biological families when possible as directed by the placement workers.
• Ensure that children rights are adhered to at all times.
• Identify and build on the strengths of the placed child.
• Provide quality-based programs to ensure that services are provided in a coordinated manner in order to effectivelyrespond to the needs of the service population.
• Respect the client’s ethnic, cultural and spiritual backgrounds/needs.
• Identify and allocate community resources to maximize benefits to the clients.
• Reduce multiple placements by committing to work with the child/family until reunification or another appropriate permanency plan is reached.
• Advocate for children to receive all educational services promoting academic success.
• Provide emancipation services for age appropriate youth.
• Ensure that placed children are afforded a home-like environment at all times.
