Our Team
DelawareKidsCAN was launched in 2017 as a nonprofit education advocacy organization to empower, mobilize and collaborate with everyday Delawareans to advocate for a high-quality education system. Our goal is to build an education system that prepares every Delaware child for life success and meets its promise as an engine of social and economic mobility.
