The Department of Children and Families is the state agency charged with protecting children and ensuring that they are safe and well-cared for.

Picture this: a safe place to try new things, find a sense of belonging, take on challenges and inspire others! That’s Girl Scouts. A place where a G.I.R.L. (G0-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader) can transform her ideas into action, turn her questions into adventure, and grow her confidence through practice.

We empower citizens: the petitioners, protestors, and mobilizers who remain persistent, even in the face of resistance. We bring ONE’s campaigning expertise and decades of experience creating real, meaningful change, and we provide a megaphone to the world’s passionate advocates. Together, we relentlessly and effectively demand change from the people with the power who can make it happen.
