The Childrens Institute

The Children's Institute is a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon. With a team of 20 employees, the institute is dedicated to creating a more equitable future for children in the state. Founded in 2003, The Children's Institute focuses its efforts on improving outcomes for all children and families in Oregon. The organization strives to address economic inequities through policy and practice changes, recognizing that current systems often fail to meet the needs of children of color and those living in rural communities. Their work centers on advocating for policies that promote social justice and ensure that all children have access to the resources and support they need to thrive. The Children's Institute believes in the power of love and care as foundational elements for a brighter future. They actively challenge existing systems and encourage collaboration to create lasting change. Their commitment to social justice extends to engaging the community in their mission to create a more equitable society for all children.
