About Us

Our Mission

Together We Thrive

At the Missouri Coalition for Children, our mission is grounded in our vision for a hopeful future where all children and families in Missouri achieve their full potential within safe, nurturing communities. Our commitment is reflected in the promises we make and uphold.

We support families with the right services at the right time, ensuring their health, safety and overall well-being.

By encouraging a shift from reaction to prevention services, we aim to foster environments where children can thrive and families can flourish.

We recognize the power of partnerships and actively collaborate with communities throughout Missouri to understand and address their unique priorities.

By working closely together, we can implement sustainable solutions that empower families and promote community resilience.

We lead with innovation and a dedication to quality through professional learning opportunities, rigorous data analysis and transparent reporting.

By continuously evolving, our services meet the highest standards and have a measurable impact on the lives of children and families across the state.
