Different kinds of work.
One enduring purpose.
Children’s opportunities depend on people, places and resources. Our work brings those pieces into a longer view.
Research & public learning
We are examining developmental science, education, family circumstances and community opportunities. Our journal makes selected evidence accessible, with direct references and clear limits. North Carolina and boys ages 5–16 are particular research interests within a broader mission for young children and youth.
