The Children's League of Massachusetts Details
The Children's League of Massachusetts (CLM) is a statewide non-profit association of over 60 private and public organizations and individuals that collectively advocate for public policies and quality services that are in the best interest of the Commonwealth's children, youth, and families. It is through public education and advocacy that CLM promotes the availability, accessibility, and quality of these needed services. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace and in the priorities we set with our members.As providers, consumers, advocates, purchasers and regulators of services, CLM members know firsthand the issues facing today's children and youth, as well as the challenges inherent in addressing them. During this time of major shifts in the delivery and funding of children, youth, and family services, CLM serves as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among members, a vehicle for keeping the focus on the needs of children, youth, and their families, and a powerful source of common action.CLM works independently and in coalition around these critical areas to advance public policy in Massachusetts by developing needed legislation, analyzing the state budget and its effects on children and families, and promoting policy within the administration. CLM also works to educate both the public and policy-makers about national trends and pressing state-wide issues regarding the child welfare system.
