Catholic Guardian Services (the "Agency"), a not-for-profit membership Corporation, seeks to affirm the dignity of each person it serves and to carry a message of hope to vulnerable persons of all ages, regardless of race, color, creed or ethnic origin. Its goal is to protect and nurture disadvantaged children and individuals with disabilities, to increase their prospects for self-sufficiency, to strengthen the family structures integral to their support, and to continually adapt its responses to their ever-changing needs. Specifically, it collaborates with others in the public and voluntary sectors to offer professional and compassionate care to needy individuals and groups through a broad array of community-based programs.
