Mission
Every day, children are harmed by America’s broken child welfare, juvenile justice, education, and healthcare systems.
Through relentless strategic advocacy and legal action, we hold governments accountable for keeping kids safe and healthy.
Children’s Rights has made a lasting impact, protecting hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children and we are poised to help millions more. They are depending on us…and you.
History
Children’s Rights began as a project of the New York Civil Liberties Union and, later, the American Civil Liberties Union, and in 1995 became an independent nonprofit organization.
We have won landmark legal victories in Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Washington, DC and Wisconsin and engaged in advocacy efforts that are changing the way child welfare is practiced in the United States.
Children’s Rights is proving that failing child welfare systems not only can be fixed, but can be made to run well.
