Education
We works to ensure that our region’s children arrive at school ready to learn, and attend schools that have the resources needed to provide a high quality education.
Vulnerable Youth
We work to promote policies and investments to reduce the number of children involved in the juvenile justice and child welfare systems, and to ensure that children who do end up in these systems receive services that help them heal from trauma and stay on track to a bright future.
Our goals have always been to increase community awareness and actions on behalf of children.
