Our Vision

We believe ALL children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed in life. Education is the key that unlocks the door to success. Far too many children, through no fault of their own, aren’t getting the education they need to make it in life. We are passionately committed to righting this wrong.

Stand for Children has made the hard decision to discontinue its advocacy efforts in Louisiana. We are pleased to note that the Center for High School Success’s exceptional work in helping district and public charter high schools across Louisiana increase the number of students who finish their make-or-break ninth-grade year on track will continue its great work.

We could not be more grateful for all we have accomplished over the past fifteen years, the relationships and partnerships we have built with you, and impact for students and families we achieved together.

Please continue to stay connected with us at Stand for Children and join us in the ongoing efforts toward an equitable education for all.
