National
Partnership for Community Leadership (NPCL)
The focus of NPCL's work is on building
strong families by helping local and community-based agencies develop
and implement services that enable parents to be the best they can be.
Research indicates that children born in low-income families are more
likely to experience poverty, crime, low educational achievement, and
early pregnancy. Without the support and involvement of agencies
trained and empowered by NPCL to work effectively with families,
many children grow up with fragile family support systems.

Saving Our Children
Our Nation is in a
state of emergency. Every 40 seconds a child is reported missing in
the United States. Of these missing children, under 45 percent are
African American children who are being torn from their families. It
is crucial that the African American Community in our country become
more involved in the safety of these precious children. There are
astronomical numbers of abused, missing and murdered African American
children that fail to get the needed exposure in the media. Very
rarely are their precious little faces posted on milk cartons and
bulletin boards, or reported on network and cable news shows. Our
mission is to make the African American communities in our country
aware of the plight of these children and to make them a
community/national priority. For more information, please call Saving
Our Children at: 516-333-9882
