Founded in 1973, Ohio Children’s Alliance is Ohio’s first statewide child advocacy organization.

Formerly known as the Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies, the Ohio Children’s Alliance is Ohio’s premiere membership organization for community agencies who serve vulnerable children and families.

While priorities change overtime, the needs of children do not. Their children deserve a system that provides for their needs and optimal growth. They have a vision for the best system for better results.  Through its mission, the Ohio Children’s Alliance, Inc. applies the collective strength of its members to sustainably improve the provision of services to children, young adults, and families through policy advocacy, performance improvement, and member support.

A trade and advocacy association, Ohio Children’s Alliance provides its 80+ members with policy and regulatory advocacy as well as performance improvement and member support including trainings, educational opportunities, and technical assistance.

Through these services, Ohio Children’s Alliance applies the collective strength of its members to sustainably improve the provision of services to children, young adults, and families here in Ohio. For over 40 years, Ohio Children’s Alliance has worked to ensure that Ohio’s evolving public policies result in a system that is integrated, efficient, and beneficial to those that matter most – children and families.
