About Us
Our Campaign
RIght from the Start is a legislative and budget campaign led by eight organizations and coordinated by Rhode Island KIDS COUNT to advance state policies for young children and their families in Rhode Island. Now is the time for Rhode Island to invest in building strong systems to make the state the best place to have a family. Rhode Island needs state budget investments and policies that help ensure ALL Rhode Island babies and young children, regardless of zip code, race, ethnicity, or family income, get off to the right start in life!
One of our national partners, ZERO TO THREE, has put together a great overview of our work at RIght from the Start advocating for policies, legislation, and investments to improve the lives of Rhode Island’s young children and their families. Read the full case study here. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and we thank ZERO TO THREE for their support!
