Mission
Children First for Oregon works to make Oregon a place where all children thrive. We educate and engage Oregonians to promote programs and policies that get results for kids.
We are a trusted, independent voice for kids committed to providing opportunity for every Oregon child.
We advocate on a state and federal level for policies that improve the lives of children.
We bring together parents, community leaders, business executives, and lawmakers to make smart investments in our state’s children.
Through carefully researched reports, such as the annual Report Card and County Data Book, we raise awareness among all Oregonians of the importance of strong families and communities.
We work to ensure:
- Every child has access to quality, affordable health care
- Foster kids have the support they need to succeed
- Families have financial stability so children can thrive
