| | | | Creator: | Western Reserve Child Welfare Council | | | | Dates: | 1910-1917 | | | | Abstract: | The Western Reserve Child Welfare Council was founded in 1911, following the first Western Reserve Conference on the Care of Neglected and Dependent Children, held in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1910. The organizers of this conference recommended a permanent organization be formed to promote cooperation between both public and private child welfare agencies in the Western Reserve. Membership in the Council consisted of two appointed representatives from each agency. The Council produced reports addressing such issues as child labor, infant care, education, institutional care, and dependent mothers. The Council also served as a watchdog organization that could recommend action to the City of Cleveland on child advocacy issues. Leading members included James R. Garfield, Chester C. Bolton, Gilbert P. Jennings, and Dr. Richard Bolt. In 1914, the Western Reserve Child Welfare Council changed its name to the Cleveland Welfare Council. In 1917, it joined with the Cleveland Federation for Charity and Philanthropy in a single organization named the Welfare Federation of Cleveland. The collection consists of a constitution, minutes, budget statements, correspondence, and reports. | | | | Call #: | MS 4632 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Western Reserve Child Welfare Council. | Child welfare -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Public welfare -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Children -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 4 | Title: | Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization Records
| | | | Creator: | Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization | | | | Dates: | 1963-1995 | | | | Abstract: | The Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization was founded in 1966 following a protest march from Cleveland, Ohio, to Columbus, Ohio, by a small group of welfare recipients. The group used the march to highlight their demands that all people be able to meet basic needs with dignity. From the GCWRO grew a state affiliate and a national organization, the National Welfare Rights Organization. By the mid-1970s, GCWRO was a funded organization through the United Way with Minnie Player as director. Carolyn Miller was appointed executive director of the group following Ms. Player's death in 1983. GCWRO evolved into an organization to advocate for and educate those receiving public assistance. Outreach programming efforts included: Minnie's House, a women's center developed to focus on the specific issues of low-income women; the Give-a-Christmas program, aiding those with great need at the holidays; and, various programs and seminars on job training, self-sufficiency, and parenting. The collection consists of agendas, agreements, booklets, certificates, constitutions, correspondence, financial statements, flyers/handouts, forms, grant proposals, interviews, invitations, lists, manuals, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, newspaper articles and clippings, notes, press releases, programs, and reports. | | | | Call #: | MS 5069 | | | | Extent: | 1.20 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization. | Empowerment Center of Greater Cleveland. | Welfare rights movement -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Public welfare -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Welfare recipients -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Human services -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
