Allies for Children committed to serving alliances and serving as a “bold voice for policy and practice changes that improve the wellbeing of all children and youth in Allegheny County, especially those with the greatest need.” One example is a comprehensive crossing guard study that observed that the lack of safe routes to and from school poses a roadblock for many students. To accomplish this, they advocated that “better deployment strategies, improved connections to the Department of Public Safety and increased professional development opportunities could enable crossing guards to play an even more vital role in the safety and wellbeing of children and youth and improve school attendance.”

My Brother’s Keeper Goal Area Six – All of our young people are save from violent crime and those who need it receive the second chance they deserve.
