As found on their website, The Children’s Agenda was founded in 2004 after a multi-year planning process initiated by the Rochester Area Community Foundation to address three things missing for children and youth in Monroe County:
•Advocacy for policy and funding changes that get to the root of problems, independent of and impartial towards any particular service, program or provider.
•Evidence-based expertise and understanding of what’s effective and proven to work, and commitment to championing that.
•Focus on the entire cradle-to-career continuum, spanning issues and ages for a whole-child approach that includes an integrated system of support and care.
In answering this call, The Children’s Agenda speaks out about what needs to change while also acting as an “invisible glue” behind the scenes, serving on committees related to children’s issues and aligning community groups and leaders around a common vision: lasting progress for children and youth.
