Child Advocacy in Action

We believe that all of us have a responsibility for the public policies that impact every child’s development; regardless of race, sex, gender, religion, nationality or economic status. The foundation of our institute is the belief that developing a positive self-image and self-esteem is just as important to becoming a happy, healthy, and productive adult as proper nutrition and educational preparation are for a child's physical and cognitive development.
