Since 1983, Action For Children has used data and research to promote better outcomes for North Carolina’s children and families.

Our vision is that North Carolina will be the best place to be and raise a child.

Our mission is to advocate for child well-being by educating and engaging all people across the state to ensure that children are healthy, safe, well-educated and have every opportunity for success.

Action for Children is the North Carolina partner for the KIDS COUNT project, a national and state-level initiative of the Annie E. Casey Foundation which seeks to enrich local, state and national discussions by tracking quantitative indicators of child well-being.
