Our Mission
Massachusetts Advocates for Children’s mission is to remove barriers to educational and life opportunities for children and youth.
We do so by advocating for and partnering with students and families; transforming school cultures to be inclusive, safe and supportive; 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, English Learner status, and/or traumatic life experiences.

“I did not know all of my son’s rights but I knew something was wrong. Our MAC attorney…defended my son’s rights as if he was her son. She provided justice.”
