Mission

The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) is a national, non-profit organization that connects community action, public system reform, and policy change to create a fair and just society in which all chilcren and families thrive. We have offices in Washington, DC, New York, and Los Angeles, as well as partners in 30 states around the county. CSSP's mission is to achieve a racially, economically, and socially just society in which all children and families thrive. To do this, we translate ideas into action, promote public policies grounded in equity, support strong and inclusive communities, and advocate with and for all children marginalized by public policies and institutional practices.
