Agency Spotlight: Gateway

Gateway is the oldest social service agency in Birmingham with the city’s longest track record of positive impact. For 125 years, Gateway has partnered with thousands of families through innovative, synergistic solutions: family counseling, financial coaching, transitional living, crisis intervention and therapeutic foster care.

Families are in need of advocates and coaches to help them with two massive responsibilities – building strong people and therefore strong communities. Therefore our mission focuses on supporting society’s fundamental unit:

Strong families are the building blocks of strong communities.
Gateway partners with families to support their development and restore their pathways to wholeness.
