Kids Win Missouri is a coalition of organizations and individuals dedicated to improving the well-being of Missouri children.
The closures of Citizens for Missouri’s Children in June 2010 and Partnership for Children in 2013 left Missouri’s children without a voice in the state policy arena. A small group of children’s advocacy stakeholders met in late 2013 to examine the landscape and explore options for moving forward to make the concept of a new statewide children’s advocacy organization, the Missouri Children’s Leadership Council, operational. The organization rebranded in 2017, which resulted in a new name for the organization, Kids Win Missouri.
