About Us

The Resilience Advocacy Project develops and implements innovative individual and system-level advocacy models that build resilience – the ability to bounce back from adversity – in low-income children and youth.
By ensuring that low-income children and youth have both the internal resources and external supports they need to overcome the challenges of poverty, we work towards a time when all children will have an equal opportunity to maximize their potential and achieve their dreams.
