Welcome to
DelawareKidsCAN
DelawareKidsCAN is a nonprofit education advocacy organization to empower, mobilize and collaborate with everyday Delawareans to advocate for a high-quality education system.
Our Vision
An education system that prioritizes what students need to succeed and thrive over adult convenience and special interests.
Our Mission
DelawareKidsCAN is dedicated to fostering student success through strategic advocacy and impactful lobbying efforts. Our mission is to actively engage with policymakers, educators and the community to champion transparent, equitable and innovative education policies. By tirelessly lobbying for student-centric initiatives and fostering a collaborative environment, we aim to create a transformative educational landscape that empowers every student in Delaware to thrive academically, equitably and with the skills needed for a successful future. We must be urgent in our approach to creating the type of education system students deserve. Our kids can’t wait.
