Agenda for Children
AGENDA FOR CHILDREN WAS FOUNDED TO MAKE LOUISIANA A STATE IN WHICH ALL CHILDREN CAN THRIVE, BY ENSURING THAT THE BASIC NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ARE MET, THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE NURTURED AND WELL TAUGHT, BEGINNING IN THE EARLY YEARS AND CONTINUING THROUGH ADOLESCENCE; THAT THEY ARE PROTECTED FROM HARM; AND BY ACTING IN WAYS THAT COMBAT RACISM AND OTHER FORMS OF OPPRESSION. AGENDA FOR CHILDREN HAS BEEN WORKING TO IMPROVE CHILD WELL-BEING IN LOUISIANA FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS BY SUPPORTING, INFORMING AND EMPOWERING THE EDUCATORS, FAMILIES, POLICYMAKERS, DONORS AND ADVOCATES WHO IMPACT THEIR LIVES. OUR DIVERSITY OF PROGRAMS CONNECT ADULTS TO RESOURCES, SERVICES AND NETWORKS THAT CAN HELP THEM SUPPORT CHILDREN. OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE EARLY CHILDHOOD OPPORTUNITY FUND (ECHO), A CENTER FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS AND DEVELOPMENT, THE JUDY WATTS CENTER FOR POLICY & ADVOCACY, LOUISIANA KIDS COUNT, AND NEW ORLEANS EARLY EDUCATION NETWORK (NOEEN).
