From Plains to Plateaus: Examining Child Well-Being Across Colorado Places

The Colorado Children’s Campaign is a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy organization committed since 1985 to realizing every chance for every child in Colorado.

We advocate for the development and implementation of data-driven public policies that improve child well-being in health, education and early childhood. We do this by providing Coloradans with trusted data and research on child well-being and organizing an extensive statewide network of dedicated child advocates.

Every day, we work to:
Eliminate gaps in student achievement and health outcomes between low-income children and children of color and their peers.

Provide all of Colorado’s young children with high-quality early learning and development experiences so they are ready for school and on track for success in life.

Secure quality, affordable health care and healthy communities for all Colorado children.

Ensure all students in Colorado have access to the quality K-12 education they need to graduate from high school prepared for college, careers and life
