Celebrating Over 25 Years of Success
In 2010, the Colorado Children’s Campaign was proud to celebrate our 25th anniversary.

At the time of the Children’s Campaign’s founding in 1985, there were about 850,000 kids in Colorado, and their numbers and needs were growing. That year, a group of concerned citizens came together and asked the question “Who is speaking on behalf of and exclusively for our children?” The answer was that while some people were talking about some particular groups of kids with unique challenges, no one was speaking on behalf of all Colorado’s children, despite the fact that almost every other constituency had representation. Colorado children needed a voice, and so became the Colorado Children’s Campaign.

Since then, the Children’s Campaign has been servings as the leading voice for all of Colorado’s children at the state Capitol and in communities across the state. Working with lawmakers, direct service providers, advocacy partners and community leaders, the Children’s Campaign’s goal is to improve the lives of kids in the areas of health, education and early childhood development. We do this work through a combination of research and advocacy, always looking first at the data to determine where kids are facing the biggest challenges and where there are the biggest opportunities for improvement, then working with our partners to advance policy solutions.
