The mission

What this organization describes

Improving the quality of life for children through strategic research, public policy analysis, education, collaboration and advocacy
CHILDREN AT RISK, founded in 1989, is a non-partisan research and advocacy organization dedicated to addressing the root causes of poor public policies affecting children. CHILDREN AT RISK has grown to become a statewide organization impacting all children in Texas, and has been speaking out and driving change for Texas' most defenseless youth for over twenty years. Using the tools of advocacy, CHILDREN AT RISK works on a broad range of children's issues, including education, parenting and family well being, health and nutrition, and the fight to end human trafficking. We focus our efforts where they are needed most: where a significant number of Texas' children are affected, and where we can enhance, but not duplicate, the work of others.
