Our Mission Statement
The
empowerment of women has been the guiding concept of Florence
Crittenton Services for over a century. Our organization is an
outgrowth of one of the greatest philanthropic movements of all
time: Charles Crittenton opened the first Mission in 1883 in New
York City to rescue outcast women and girls. The movement spread
and was quickly established on a national level. The initial gift
to the Topeka area, $100, was made in 1900. Over the years the
objective has changed from rescue to services for pregnant women and
girls to prevention and advocacy for at-risk young women and, in turn,
women of all ages and backgrounds.
Vision
Florence
Crittenton Services will be at the forefront of innovative solutions
for at-risk, adolescent girls and their families—building a better
tomorrow, one girl at a time.
