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.
