About us
Allies for Children serves as a bold voice for children and youth, propelling their needs to the center of policy discussions. That’s critical, because policy impacts everything from school funding and meal programs to housing and healthcare. Our goal is for our leaders to put children first. To do this work, we build alliances with other advocates and service providers and create a common agenda—a set of important policy issues all leaders should prioritize. When we all prioritize children, they learn, grow and thrive. We would love for you to join us. You can learn more about our organization by meeting with the Allies for Children team or visiting our website, which is easy to remember, alliesforchildren.org.
