Our agency is one of the oldest family and youth non-profit human services organizations in the United States. In 1837, recognizing the unmet needs of vulnerable children, the Rochester Female Charitable Society founded the Rochester Orphan Asylum—known today as Hillside. In the 185 years since that transformational act of caring, our work has evolved in scope and complexity. Still, Hillside’s core mission of service remains as strong as ever: by gradually expanding our reach and the coordinated nature of our programs, we continue to meet the changing needs of the communities with whom we partner Caring Hillside builds a culture of trust and support by focusing on the wellness and resiliency of our staff, and the youth and families we serve. Inclusion Hillside believes all people should be accepted for who they are, have a voice, and be listened to and valued while striving for equity, trust and belonging. Excellence Hillside utilizes high-quality, evidence-based/informed practices, seeks input from employees, and strives for continuous improvement in order to achieve the best possible results and outcomes.
