All Children - All Families: Agency Self-Assessment

In order to be added to the list of All Children - All Families participants, agencies must complete the ACAF Agency Self-Assessment. Request your agency's username and password for the online assessment.

The All Children - All Families Agency Self-Assessment allows an organization to understand and document its level of cultural competence in welcoming LGBT-headed families in its current practice. Upon completion, agencies will receive a report outlining how many of the 10 benchmarks of LGBT cultural competence they have met. A member of the ACAF National Advisory Council will also analyze the self-assessment and provide the agency with one hour of individualized technical assistance - including a plan for each agency to improve its practice.
