Transforming the lives of children in central Ohio by supporting their parents, caregivers, and teachers.
关于我们
Action for Children transforms the lives of children by supporting, empowering and advocating for the adults who make the biggest impact on children's lives—their parents, caregivers, and teachers. We were formed in 1972 as the child care referral agency of Central Ohio, but over time we have grown to be so much more. Today, our mission and programs are focused on making the most of the 2,000 days between a child's birth and their first day of kindergarten, when 85% of the brain is developed and so many physical, intellectual, and social foundations are laid for future success. Every day, every moment matters. Our services include: Information & Referral Services for Parents; Home visiting services to support kindergarten readiness; Family Asset Building –including parenting classes for fathers, parenting classes to support mothers, and more; Professional Development for Early Childhood Educators; Quality Improvement, Coaching, and Technical Assistance and so much more!

We're thrilled to share that FatherUp at Action for Children was honored with the Rebecca Cline Preventionist of the Year Award from the Ohio Domestic Violence Network at the State Leadership Team Meeting yesterday. The award recognizes FatherUp's innovative program work and impact related to domestic violence prevention. Tory, one of our FatherUp Facilitators shared, "Being selected for this award is truly an honor. Being able to bring awareness to the fatherhood space in central Ohio through our partnership with Ohio Domestic Violence Network is making an incredible impact on our families and generations to come. We are very proud to do this in a way that is non-confrontational and evokes meaningful discussions that carry on beyond our cohorts." Congratulations to the FatherUp team and thank you to the Ohio Domestic Violence Network for their longstanding support and partnership! #FatherUp #DVPrevention #Fatherhood #Legacy
