Take the next step towards being a voice for children. CDF has a number of opportunities for child advocates to get more involved in the movement to ensure a level playing field for every child. Much still needs to be done when:

• every 10 seconds a high school student drops out.
• every 35 seconds a baby is born into poverty.
• every 41 seconds a baby is born without health insurance.

CDF intends to change these statistics, but we need your help!
