Stand for Children's State Affiliates

Since 1999, Stand for Children has honed a model of effective citizen activism organized through state affiliates with local Chapters. Members work on issues affecting children at both state and local levels.

Currently, we have six state affiliates: Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington. They are supported by national offices in Portland, Oregon, and Waltham, Massachusetts. Click on the states below for more information on each affiliate.

“An hour you spend with Stand is an hour you’re going to get a lot done. It’s not a meeting where 20 minutes is chit-chat and 20 minutes is spinning your wheels. A lot goes into providing members with the tools they need to be effective, so our time is well used and we get to the outcome we want.”
