1199SEIU/EMPLOYER CHILD CARE FUND MISSION STATEMENT
The 1199SEIU/Employer Child Care Fund (the “Fund” or “CCF”) will establish child care and youth programs and related services for Fund-eligible 1199SEIU bargaining unit members (“Members”) in order to increase their access to quality, affordable child care and youth-related services and information. To assist parents in reconciling their work and family responsibilities, the Fund will provide programs and services that meet the particular needs of children from infancy through age 17.
