Children in Poverty

Children in Poverty

Across the country, the effects of poverty continue to impact millions of children and families—raising urgent questions about how today’s shifting public policies may shape their future. At the heart of these changes lies a fundamental question: What do we really know about children living in poverty—and what actions can we take to support them now and into the future? In this timely webinar, we’ll examine what decades of research reveal about the realities facing children in poverty, and how those insights translate into effective, evidence-based strategies. We’ll explore how policy changes—at the federal, state, and local levels—could influence everything from access to early education and nutrition to healthcare and family supports. As new challenges emerge, the stakes for children have never been higher. How can we protect and strengthen the systems that serve our most vulnerable populations? What role can early childhood professionals, advocates, and policymakers play in shaping a future where every child has a chance to thrive?
