Since its inception in 1895, The William George Agency for Children’s Services has been at the forefront of residential care.

From its modest beginnings as a summer camp for inner city children, our Agency has grown to become one of the largest, most respected residential treatment facilities in New York State.  We currently provide over 200 teenagers from 55 counties with counseling, education, independent living and vocational skills, family reconciliation and supportive community services.  Additionally, we are also one of the largest not-for-profit agencies in Tompkins and Cortland counties, providing jobs for nearly 500 full-time employees.

What drives this tremendous growth and impact?  At the heart of everything we do is our motto: “Care First”

We are committed to providing a safe and caring residential environment supported by proven therapeutic, clinical, and medical care for at-risk youth.  Our innovative, highly regarded programs serve high need, specialized populations who have been historically underserved.  We care first about the youth we serve, while helping them develop the attitudes, social skills and self-direction that will enable them to become contributing members of the community, and we respect, empower, and partner with families to support their efforts in successful reunification and family preservation.

In addition to providing outstanding residential care, The William George Agency strives to create an exceptional work environment as well.  We provide an excellent wage and benefits package, and we offer extensive support, training, and advancement opportunities.  It’s challenging work, but if you like building relationships and working with people, if you enjoy making an impact by teaching and helping others, this may be the rewarding career for you.
