Our Programs

Children Thrive with Safety and Support

Committee for Children develops programs rooted in building essential human skills—such as empathy, resilience, and responsible decision-making—that help create supportive and successful learning environments. Our Second Step® family of programs equips parents, educators, and communities with the tools to nurture children’s growth and safety. Together, our programs help us achieve our mission to foster children’s safety and well-being.

Making It Easy to Make a Difference

Second Step® programs help students develop the human skills they need to thrive. Designed for real classrooms and proven to work, our PreK–12 programs strengthen behavior, belonging, engagement, and readiness to learn, helping create supportive school climates where students can succeed academically and socially.
