Children

Children - Through innovative research and communications strategies, we promote pioneering solutions to improve the lives of children. Our programs reach parents, lawmakers, concerned citizens, business, media and community leaders, building partnerships to affect positive change. Focusing particular attention on the needs of children who are poor or at risk, our mission is to improve conditions for all children by making them the top priority across the nation.

We pay particular attention to the needs of poor, minority, and disabled children. Our goal is to educate the nation about the needs of children and encourage preventive investment in children before they get sick, drop out of school, suffer family breakdown, or get into trouble.
We believe that no child should be left behind, and that every child needs and deserves a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start, and a Moral Start in life.
