Wichita Child Guidance Center

For over 120 years, the Kansas Children’s Service League has been giving our best to Kansas kids. Our early work centered on finding homes for abandoned, abused, neglected or orphaned children. It stemmed from a then-radical belief that children grew up best in family homes, not in orphanages or homes for wayward children.

Later in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s our work turned to private adoptions of infants. Many Kansans today still trace their roots back to the League. By the 1970s we turned our attention to helping Kansans build strong families. Our merger at the League’s century mark in 1993 with the Kansas Chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America cemented our position. Today we continue our efforts in education and prevention while preserving our mission, to protect and promote the well-being of children.

KCSL is a statewide, COA accredited, not-for-profit agency that works to prevent child abuse, strengthen families and empower parents.
