Children's basic needs are family , safety , health , education , economic security and arts, recreation and culture . All children need to know they belong to loving families and caring communities.

Our children's sense of hope and possibility requires equal access to appropriate resources. Children are prepared for the future when we teach them and they learn to honor and respect diversity. As children mature, we must seek their voices, engage them, and recognize the freedom they need to shape their destinies. Children can learn from their mistakes. They deserve systems that give them that opportunity.
