DETAILS

General Info

The Association for Children of New Jersey, also known as ACNJ, is a New Jersey-based child advocacy organization. A board of trustees, with representatives from various professions, ages, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, governs the agency. ACNJ collects, analyzes and distributes information on the well-being of children in New Jersey so that policy-makers can identify problems and work toward solutions. It also sponsors seminars and conferences as a means to inform policy makers, professionals, service providers, advocates and the public about issues affecting children and families. ACNJ s community initiatives include programs to train grassroots advocates and community members to be effective voices for children, to coordinate statewide, regional and local networks of citizens to act on behalf of children. ACNJ operates a Children s Legal Resource Center to meet the demand for information on the status of the law and children s rights. The agency is funded primarily through foundation grants and donations to support specific projects. It does not accept government grants for advocacy.
