THE CHILDREN’S DEFENSE FUND

The Children’s Defense Fund Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Leave No Child Behind®

As Associate Director of Youth and Children’s Programs for a non-profit organization in my hometown of Newark New Jersey, I had the honor of having lunch with Marion Wright Edelman Founder and President of The Children’s Defense Fund. Over lunch, I was able to share my gratitude for the support my family received through her fund. While my children attended the Literacy-based Freedom School Programs each summer, I had the pleasure of being a parent/educator volunteer and enjoyed reading books with thousands of children. Today, I pay it forward with an annual donation to the fund.  To join me in support of this cause, select “A Moral Start” button below!
