ABOUT CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE FOR CHILDREN OF NEW YORK

Since 1944, Citizens' Committee for Children of New York, Inc. (CCC) has been a privately funded child advocacy organization that convenes, informs, and mobilizes New Yorkers to make the city a better place for children. Our mission is to ensure that every child is healthy, housed, educated and safe.

CCC has spent the last seven decades developing and refining an approach to child advocacy that is fact-based. Our 3 pronged approach includes research: budget, legislative, program analysis and data collection; community engagement: advocacy training paired with effective media/communications; advocacy: year round meetings with elected and appointed officials paired with coalition building.
