Children Across America has almost 2 decades of action empowering underserved children nationwide through education and healthcare initiatives, with 19 years in action. The mission of the organization is to empower children through education and healthcare access, transforming their futures for the better.

One parent, Isabella A., reports that her son attended the Summer STREAM Club and that his reading and math grades improved from Ds and Fs to Bs, and that he is no longer in ELL. A first grade teacher, Maria P., reports that she can tell when a child has been in the Summer program and that those children arrive prepared for school with a new backpack and needed supplies. Operations Manager Renata I. describes the organization as remaining true to its mission, being 100% volunteer-driven, and focusing on literacy, healthy eating habits, and preventative health measures. Another parent, Anne D., reports that Children Across America has helped hundreds of children struggling in school to develop English skills and improve test grades, notes that services are free and that the staff are very good with the children, and appreciates the “Safe Harbor” policy requiring at least two adults to supervise each child.
