Our Impact & Reach
About Us
Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) Is the Leading Political Voice for Kids
SCAN Believes Every Child Deserves the Best Start in Life
We believe that children’s voices deserve to be heard, their rights realized, and their issues given top priority. In 2022 SCAN mobilized a movement of local volunteers and online supporters to advocate tirelessly on behalf of children. In an increasingly fractured political environment, we work in a bipartisan manner to ensure our elected officials come together in support of our nation’s children.
It’s Thanks to Our Volunteers
Every day, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) advocates around the country tackle issues that impact children head-on.
From ensuring every child in the U.S. has access to high-quality early learning programs to helping the most vulnerable children around the world live, learn and be protected, SCAN knows that children are counting on us.
When you volunteer with SCAN, you learn how to be a powerful advocate for children.
Volunteers help spread the word in their local community by writing letters to the editor of their local newspaper and participating in local events. They also learn how to advocate so they can meet with their members of Congress, host house parties and more.
We give volunteers all the tools they need to be successful!
