TRAC Services for Families

To provide a range of services and resources for children, youth, adults & families to ensure stable relationships & strong community connections.

Since 1979, TRAC has worked so that no child will have to face a life without permanency. TRAC was founded by adoptive parents and professionals and established as a volunteer staffed project of the Junior League of Pittsburgh. Today, TRAC is a multi-service agency serving children who cannot remain with their birth families and the resource families who provide these children permanence. Primarily, the children served fall into several categories. More than half are African American; many are older and/or part of a sibling group who need to stay together; and others have emotional, physical, or mental challenges. These children have experienced multiple moves in the foster care system and high percentages have been victims of abuse and neglect. TRAC works with public and private agencies to implement cooperative, cost effective programs to meet the needs of these children. TRAC provides recruitment, information and referral services, family preparation, foster care supervision, post adoption services, outpatient and in-home therapeutic services and parent and professional education services, to achieve and maintain maximum permanency opportunities for children and their families.
