We believe "parent" is a verb.
​Caring adults are the centerpieces of children’s development.

​EDUCATORS

A teacher is estimated to have two to three times the impact of any other school factor on reading and math tests.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Partners who share a common goal—supporting children to achieve their highest potential.

HOW WE OPERATE

​We need you to help provide a strong and consistent base of support to meet specific community needs—without having to rely on the agenda of a government funder. In this way, the Children’s Coalition for Northeast Louisiana can fulfill its primary mission of collaborating with partner agencies to identify and address critical issues related to children and youth in our community, facilitating change by bringing together people and programs to meet those needs, and educating parents, professionals and policy-maker on “what works” for children in our community.
