Mission

Massachusetts advocates for children, inc. ("mac") is a non-profit organization dedicated to removing barriers to educational and life opportunities for children and youth. We do so by advocating for and partnering with students and families; and creating systemic change so all children and youth can learn, reach their potential, and thrive. We focus our advocacy on children and youth who face significant barriers, inequities, and/or discrimination because of their economic status, disability, race, ethnicity/culture, immigration status, or english learner status.

Programs

2 programs

The organization provided direct legal representation to children experiencing barriers to education and used what we learned to advocate on the state, district, and local level to make systemic changes to education.

Expenses: $329K

The organization trained over 3,000 parents and caregivers of children and service providers about their rights in education law.

Expenses: $568K
