For more than 25 years, Arkansas Advocates for Children & Families has been a dynamic and effective voice for Arkansas children and families. We are guided by a vision calling for equity for all children. Our day-to-day work strives to help every Arkansas child live in a safe and stable home, enjoy healthy growth, and receive an adequate education to realize their full potential.
Even though AACF focuses on a variety of efforts and programs, there are specific issues that comprise all of our work. See the pages at left to view the broad array of work AACF is currently involved in for the children of Arkansas. A staff of experts are available to you if you need further information concerning a specific issue.
