Agenda for Children Tomorrow (ACT) is a public-private partnership that 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 agent, 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.

Agenda for Children Tomorrow (ACT) promotes the well-being of children, families and neighborhoods throughout New York City.  ACT recognizes that communities can empower themselves to bring about positive change by gaining the strength and capacity to advocate for themselves.  By bringing together public agencies, private organizations, community groups and neighborhood residents, ACT is the change-agent that enables vital transformations to take place.
