  Stand for Children seeks to make children and their needs a higher political priority.

The ADA’s educational focus starts with the beginning of life, helping parents to instill the value of education within themselves and their children. Through ADA, parents are given the tools to guide their children through K-12th grades and into higher education. This type of school based intervention empowers and trains parents to become effective advocates and partners in their children’s education. Show less
