A public-private partnership, Agenda for Children Tomorrow (ACT) promotes the well-being of children, families and neighborhoods in New York City by working to improve services and to strengthen the capacities of communities.
As an intermediary and change agenct, ACT:

• builds upon and convenes coalitions of organizations and individuals to plan strategically;
• assists public and nonprofit agencies to be more responsive to the needs and strengths of local communities;
• promotes integrated and coordinated service delivery structures within, though not exclusively, early child care and education, housing, economic development, child welfare and other health and human services sectors;
• helps to make services more accessible, available, user-friendly and culturally relevant; and
• builds the capacities of youth, parents and families to advocate on behalf of themselves and their communities.
