Collaborating Organizations
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was founded in 1913 to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all. Today it is the world’s leading organization combating anti-Semitism, exposing hate groups, training law enforcement on hate crimes, developing anti-bias curricula for students, countering cyber-hate and relentlessly pursuing equal rights for all.
Since 1988, the Center for Schools and Communities (CSC) has been committed to improving outcomes for children and families through training, technical assistance, program evaluation, research and resource development. The Center’s work focuses on prevention and intervention initiatives operated by schools, organizations and agencies serving children, youth and families.
The National Association for Family, Schools, and Community Engagement (NAFSCE) is the only professional association dedicated solely to those who spend each and every day making family engagement happen–those who advance high impact practices, promote evidence-based policies, and strive to engage all families in the development of their children.
