Who they are

Children's Institute (CII) is a community-based organization in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area that provides health, educational, and social services to children and families.

More about Children's Institute

The organization focuses on supporting child wellbeing through integrated programs addressing health, nutrition, and family support. For nursing professionals, the Registered Nurse role involves working with the Health and Nutrition team to facilitate health services and programs for students and families, including reviewing health documents, determining child health status, and providing training on Federal and State health service guidelines. This is a community and school health nursing position rather than a traditional hospital-based role, emphasizing preventive care, health education, and compliance with health mandates. The position requires collaboration with other CII staff and involves training and technical assistance components. It is important to note that the web research returned results for multiple organizations with the name 'Children's Institute,' including entities in New York and Pittsburgh, so some information may reflect related but distinct organizations.

The research from childrensinstitute.net states the mission as 'Joining together to raise every child's complete wellbeing' and the vision as 'Supportive communities where every family can raise children who thrive as they live, learn, and play.' Core values include: Children and Families First (honoring children, youth, and families as experts in their own lives and promoting success in all areas of wellbeing); Racial and Social Justice (working collectively to address barriers to success and ensure inclusion of all people); and Transformation with an Engaged Presence. Note: These values were sourced from childrensinstitute.net, which lists membership in NYCON (New York Council of Nonprofits) and may represent a related but distinct organization from the Los Angeles-based Children's Institute.
