Our Key Issues
Children in Crisis
When crisis strikes, SCAN speaks up.
Our Mission
We champion the rights of the world’s 2.3 billion children.
Surviving is just the beginning for at-risk kids. In the face of ever-growing humanitarian need, SCAN is urging Congress to fund urgent and long-term support for struggling families and communities — advocating for programs that keep children healthy, learning and safe from harm.
