Agenda for Children Tomorrow (ACT) is a public-private partnership that promotes the well-being of children, families and neighborhoods in New York City by working to improve services and to strengthen the capacities of communities.
As an intermediary and change agent, ACT:
- Builds upon and convenes coalitions of organizations and individuals to plan strategically;
- Assists public and nonprofit agencies to be more responsive to the needs and strengths of local communities;
- Promotes integrated and coordinated service delivery structures within, though not exclusively, early child care and education, housing, economic development, child welfare and other health and human services sectors;
- Helps to make services more accessible, available, user-friendly and culturally relevant.
