The Partnership for Children is Greater Kansas City's leading children's advocacy organization. We were created in 1991 to improve conditions for children and youth in Kansas City's five-county metropolitan area. The Partnership for Children stands for the principle that children are our most valuable and vulnerable natural resource. It is essential that everyone in our community to work together to make this a great place to be a kid.
Children are the conscience of our community.
One of the Partnership for Children's primary responsibilities is to issue the annual Report Card on the Status of Children and Youth in Metro Kansas City . The Report Card measures the progress children in Greater Kansas City are making in 17 benchmark areas in five categories. Grades in each category and an overall grade on children's well-being are issued every fall. The Partnership for Children works on a wide-range of children's issues, with a special emphasis on early care and education , children's health , and youth violence prevention .
