LCTF Day at the Legislature

This year’s Louisiana Children’s Trust Fund Annual Day at the Legislature is quickly approaching; April 3, 2012. Like years in the past, we have had great success with educating our lawmakers on this very powerful day for Children. We invite you to set up a display table in the Capitol Rotunda during the hours of 10am-2pm. Setup can begin as early as 9am. We are partnering with other groups this year, so the entire day’s activities will be committed to the ongoing promotion of child abuse and neglect prevention. We will also be hosting a series of presentations on the steps of the Capitol in the early afternoon. Speakers to be announced soon.

Louisiana Partnership for Children & Families

Giving the children of Louisiana voice for a better life. That's what the Louisiana Partnership for Children and Families (the Partnership) is all about.

We are a statewide advocacy organization dedicated to influencing public policy, educating parents and all the citizens of our state and making sure that the services provided are the best for our children.

How? By using the power in numbers. One voice joined with others becomes a sound that cannot be ignored. The Partnership is the group that makes up that voice. We are the advocates dedicated to helping improve a child's education, health and welfare. Because when we all improve the quality of life for the children of our state, we are actually improving the quality of life for all citizens of Louisiana, now and in the future.

MISSION: The mission of the Partnership is to improve the well-being of children and their families through public policy advocacy, communication, and the promotion of evidence-based programs.

HISTORY: In 2004, two statewide organizations, the You Who Coalition, which maintained a large membership, notable leadership and successful advocacy in the Juvenile Justice Reform movement, and the Louisiana Alliance for Children and Families, part of a nationwide organization that served and advocated for the rights of children, merged to form the Partnership.

In its first year of operation, the Partnership made early childhood (ages zero to five) a priority. We continue to work to educate the public and the state legislators and policymakers about just how crucial this stage of life is, and why BrightStart, the state's initiative to build a comprehensive system for children, is so critical. The Partnership has successfully led efforts to change public policy, resulting in the passage of much legislation including the creation of the School Readiness Tax Credits (supporting quality child care) and the expansion of pre-kindergarten, among others.
