10 Days of Action for 10 Years of SCAN
Celebrating a Decade of Impact
Kids can’t vote, so Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) fights for them.
We’re Save the Children’s political advocacy arm, showing up and speaking out for kids since 2014. Our advocates push policymakers to prioritize children’s futures – in the U.S. and around the world.
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we’re hosting 10 Days of Action.

MAY 10: Childcare Provider Appreciation
90% of brain development happens by age 5, which means early learning is essential. So are the childcare workers who make it all possible.
SCAN got its start advocating for more affordable, accessible early childhood education opportunities – so every kid gets the strongest possible start in life.
MAY 11: Spotlight SCAN’s Community
Our grassroots staff mobilize students and advocates across 11 states, from Washington to New Hampshire! With training and support, local volunteers use their voices to make change for children – meeting with lawmakers, hosting events and engaging their communities.
MAY 12: Celebrate Parent Engagement
Parents and caregivers are at the center of SCAN’s work. Their lived experiences are powerful, reminding policymakers what really matters.
Our Family Engagement program is built on community-based partnerships – offering training and resources so any advocate can participate.
