The Children's Agenda is a Rochester-based nonprofit that advocates for changes in laws, regulations, and public funding to improve children's health, education, and well-being. The organization works at both local and state levels, aiming to influence policy rather than deliver services directly. It bases its priorities on what the community identifies as the greatest needs, incorporates parental lived experience, and relies on the best available research to guide its decisions. Founded in 2004 to be the voice for Rochester's children, the organization focuses exclusively on policy change and operates within New York to benefit both the local community and the broader state. It is positioned as a regional player in children's policy advocacy, distinguishing itself by prioritizing advocacy and evidence-based work over service delivery. Recent collaborations include partnerships with other community organizations to host discussions on child poverty in Rochester.
