Who Speaks for Children?

Since 1944, Citizens' Committee for Children of New York, Inc. (CCC) has convened, informed and mobilized New Yorkers to make the city a better place for children. CCC's approach to child advocacy is fact-based and combines the best features of public policy advocacy with a tradition of citizen activism. Casting light on the issues, engaging allies, fueling civic discourse, identifying improvements and envisioning alternatives has helped CCC make children a priority in New York City.

1 in 3 NYC Children Lives in Poverty

Help CCC Help Children

The devastating impact of the recession on NYC children,
illustrated in this infographic, means that services and safety-net programs
are needed now more than ever.

With one in three children in New York City now living in poverty,
we cannot allow this bleak picture to get worse.

Please support vital research, community education
and advocacy for children with a gift to CCC now,
during this especially difficult time for children and families.
