Fight Crime: Invest in Kids California
  1. Overview

California

Making a strong case for effective investments in children and youth in the Golden State.

Home to 1 out of every 8 children in the U.S., California has made great strides in enacting policies that promote academic opportunities and wellness. Undaunted by challenges and increasing costs of living, our law enforcement, military, sports and business leaders in California stand up for evidence-based approaches that increase access to early learning, boost high school graduation rates, improve postsecondary completion and help children succeed.
