Introduction: Identification of Service Program
The Child welfare league of America is a program that was created by the public as well
as private agencies and has worked to serve children as well as families that are vulnerable. The
expertise of the people involved in the program, the policies created as well as practices of the
welfare help in the improvement of lives for millions of children across the United States
(CWLA.org, 2018). The mission of the program is to lead and engage its network of private and
public agencies as well as partners in advancing certain policies, collaborative strategies and best
practices which lead to better outcomes for the children of America, youths and even families at
large that are vulnerable. The vulnerability could be in the form of violence done to them,
injustices or unfairness in treatment. Since such problems exist in the community, it was
necessary for the establishment of this program, to help the affect individuals.
The objective of the program is to identify issues in the community that impact children,
youth and their families negatively, and create solutions to address these problems. The task
carried out by this program is not an easy one, and therefore it is essential that the people that are
involved in the job are experts in the field. For instance, some notable individuals that are
involved in the program include pediatricians, child councilors, drug councilors as well as
doctors. Due to the demand of such highly skilled personnel, it is essential that the people that
provide services in this program are scrutinized and the program evaluated in general before
action is taken in terms of implementation of its projects. In addition, due to the limited resources
that are at the disposal of the team, there is need to scrutinize the program to ensure that there is
no wastage of resources while maximizing the provision of services with the available means and
expertise.

Scope of Problem
Having volunteered to work for the organization a year ago, some of the tasks that were
of the most significance were in the field of ensuring better living conditions for children,
protecting the youth together with their families, ensuring healthy growth and development for
children, As a result, there was always the need for expertise in the delivery of service as well as
the use of resources that are not a budget-friendly. Since the program was created by the public
and private entities, the provision of support is meant to come from these organization to fund
the project. In some situations, resources were not enough to meet the needs, and this was a great
concern since it was established that under some mysterious circumstances, resources would not
be enough even when accounted for. Clearly. There was a problem in credibility of some people
that were engaged in the program and thus the need for scrutiny.
Some of the perceived problems that are currently experienced by the organization in the
delivery of service include limited resources, limited expertise and volunteers, and integrity
concerns of some individuals. The perceived problems are of particular interest as they help
establish the notion that people in the program and how it affects the people involved to find the
solution to the problems and ensure things run efficiently. The actual gap in service, however, is
the problems that children in the society are facing today as well as youth and their families.
Issues such as homelessness, sicknesses, abuse and detachment from school are some of the
problems that children, the youth and families face in the community which has a dramatic
impact on their lives. The Child welfare league of America is committed to ensuring the
protection of these individuals and that they get the resources that they require to thrive. The
needs of these affected individuals have not been changing a lot since more people are affected
