Your donation puts NC Child’s strategies to work for children and families across the state.
In North Carolina, 1 in 6 children struggles with hunger. School meals make a big difference!
Ask legislators to make sure kids have the support they need in school.
Child care subsidy rates are key to making early education available and affordable.
NC Child is excited to launch our 2023 North Carolina Health Care Storytellers Fellowship. Eight parents, caregivers or young adults with Medicaid experience will receive training, support, and a stipend. Their stories and the stories they collect will help drive positive change in our state.
Many children across our state face significant barriers that affect their wellbeing. Too many kids and families face discrimination because of their race, ethnicity, and place of birth. NC Child wants every child to have the chance to thrive.
Here are a few of the current campaigns we’re working on, together with our partners:
Since the pandemic began, hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians have lost their jobs – and health insurance. It’s time for state leaders to act.
Some NC kids have unacceptable levels of lead in their bodies, putting them at risk. Eliminating exposure to lead means healthier brain development.
North Carolina can’t go back to work without child care. Access to strong early childhood programs is critical for child development, & for NC’s working families.
Children’s healthy mental health development is tied to their ability to learn, maintain healthy relationships with their family and peers, and succeed later in life.
