Organization Profile
Founded in 1983, Action for Children North Carolina is a statewide, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization devoted to making this state the best place to be and raise a child. Action for Children provides data and research to people across the state—especially policymakers—to help them make better decisions that affect our children. Major areas of work include: child health and safety, early care and education, child maltreatment and juvenile justice and delinquency prevention. The work of Action for Children, in collaboration with other organizations around the state, has led to significant legislative change benefiting children. Action for Children is devoted to improving the well-being of North Carolina’s children by addressing how children are doing, and then by educating people so that all children in our state are healthy, safe, well-educated and grow up having every opportunity to succeed in life.
