Who We Are
Our History
The American Children's Home opened in 1928 by the Junior Order United American Mechanics
North Carolina State Council, our country's oldest patriotic fraternity. The Home initially served orphaned
children of Junior Order members. However, as time passed there were fewer and fewer true orphans and we began accepting
children through county Departments of Social Services. These children, who have suffered abuse, neglect and/or
abandonment, have been removed from their homes by court order and need a caring, nurturing environment to help them deal
with past experiences and prepare them for their future.

What We Do
Helping Children
Sometimes, for their own safety, children cannot live with their parents. We give children who have experienced
abuse, neglect or abandonment a safe and loving home in which to heal their broken spirits.
Performance Quality Improvement
The Performance
Quality Improvement (PQI) Committee meets quarterly to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of all programs and services
of the American Children's Home and correct deficiencies through the PQI process. Members involved in human resources,
operations, risk management, and capital resources present written reports. Staff and committee members from the community
reveiw performance data and outcome results to identify strengths and areas of positive practice as well as providing feedback
on areas needing improvement.
