History |
Whitney Young was originally founded in 1958 by executive director, Rosie Lee Williams, as the Christian Welfare Society, Inc. For 20 years the agency acted as a relentless advocate for the community's poor and disadvantaged and is recognized as becoming the first school in the nation for low-income handicapped children.
In 1977, in dedication to the late, Whitney M. Young, Jr., the agency changed its name and launched a unique and innovative children's program under the executive directorship of Careth B. Reid. Under Reid's direction, Whitney Young would become the model of some renown for urban childcare programs. This award winning children's program would set new expectations in the role of child development centers. Whitney Young has become well known for its use of specialists, artists, therapists and other instructors in addition to regular teaching staff. |
