Children Now
Children Now is California’s only whole-child organization working to improve children’s health, education, and overall well-being. Children Now is transforming children’s advocacy by employing a game-changing, anti-racist, connector model to unite the diverse base supporting children and ensure that all kids have the supports they need to reach their full potential. Children Now’s agenda is set by those directly impacted by systemic racism and other barriers to creating long-term sustainable change.
