Core Principles
Children's Health and Healing
We're committed to tackling challenges impacting the health and well-being of all children and youth across America by ensuring access to nutritious meals, mental health support, and essential health care.
Education for Civic Life and Work
Every student should be equipped for success in the global workforce, enabled to participate in the democratic process, and equipped to raise their voice in public life. This empowerment comes through stage-appropriate learning experiences that encompass their culture, democracy, and history. We champion education that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures active, informed, and engaged young people.
Family Stability and Economic Mobility
We're dedicated to ensuring every young person starts their journey from a stable and nurturing home. Whether through birth, kinship, foster, or adoptive families, we believe in providing a solid foundation. Our mission is to equip children and youth to exceed the achievements of the generations before them.
Just and Caring Communities
Our nation's young people should have the freedom to play in parks, walk to bus stops, and attend school - safely. They deserve neighborhoods where both neighbors and public servants actively safeguard their well-being. We work to transform this vision into reality, advocating for safe environments where the young can thrive without fear.
Early Learning and Development
We're dedicated to every child's early years ensuring they receive vital prenatal care, fostering early bonding with their caregiver, and providing a seamless, high-quality learning journey, preparing them for a successful start in kindergarten. We believe in nurturing the youngest members of our society, laying the foundation for a future filled with possibilities and opportunities.
