The Colorado Children's Campaign is the leading voice for Colorado's nearly 1.2 million children. Through our research and advocacy expertise, we work to increase access to health coverage for kids; increase access to and the quality of child care and early education opportunities for working families; reduce the state's dropout rate and improve the quality of K-12 education; and improve the state's ability to respond to children's needs appropriately through fiscal reforms.

Over our 25-year history, the Children’s Campaign has established a successful track record of identifying policy impediments to child success, building public and legislative support for the most effective solutions and effectively advocating for policies to improve the lives of the kids in Colorado. This year was no exception. While the 2010 legislative session was one of the most economically challenging in our state's history, the Children's Campaign successfully worked with state policymakers and our partners to protect funding for the programs and services most critical to kids and helped pass several pieces of legislation to ensure those services are as effective and efficient as possible. Please read our 2010 Legislative Impacts document to learn more about our recent accomplishments.

On April 13, 2010, the Children's Campaign released our 2010 KIDS COUNT in Colorado! report. The 2010 report revealed that, since 2000, the number of children living in poverty continues to grow faster in Colorado than anywhere else in the nation. The data also shows the growth of poverty and its impacts are disproportionately affecting minority children and children living in certain regions, counties and neighborhoods.
