What is Raising Illinois?
Raising Illinois is a partnership of 800+ diverse individuals and organizations across Illinois committed to supporting our youngest generation by ensuring families can access high- quality health care, engage in quality learning experiences, and establish economic security.
• Raising Illinois is a collective effort to close the opportunity gap for our earliest learners. We are part of a national movement to amplify voices of new parents and early learning and care providers and drive positive and impactful change.
• The science is clear: The first three years of a child’s life are the most critical for healthy development. A child’s experiences during these years set them up for lifelong success or challenges—we want to ensure they’re set up for success.
• We must address the root causes of historical disparities and create an equitable and cohesive early childhood development system for Illinois’ expecting families, infants and toddlers, and the communities in which they live.
• Every expecting family, infant and toddler in Illinois should have equitable access to the affordable high-quality learning experiences, health services and economic supports they need during their most formative years—creating the strongest foundation for their success in school and life.
• Our goal is to improve access to high-quality services for 100,000 Illinois infants and toddlers and their families living under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (or $53,000/year for a family of four) by 2025.
• Together, we can make a powerful commitment to our youngest generation, because infants and toddlers only get one chance at a strong start.
ROE 47 is proud to be a part of the Raising Illinois coalition, working to improve the lives of children and families in Illinois . @RegionalOffice47 #RegionalOffice47 #RaisingIllinois #ILPN3
