DC Kids and Schools

Uniting to Champion the Future of Education in DC

Our Mission

DC Kids and Schools is more than a campaign—it’s a movement. One that opens our school doors, invites collaboration, and calls on leaders and partners from across the country to learn with us, stand with us, and keep our momentum going.
We’re proud of how far DC has come. But we’re just getting started.
