Robert F. Kennedy Children's Action Corps
Robert F. Kennedy Children's Action Corps is a private, nonprofit organization. We operate a diverse range of programs and services across Massachusetts focused on helping children and adolescents deal appropriately with past hurts, develop self-esteem and become contributing members of society. We work to keep vulnerable families unified and children safe and in their communities. When it is not possible or advisable, RFK Children’s Action Corps works to stabilize the family, and, simultaneously, provide the children with a temporary therapeutic living arrangement. Programs include: family focused clinical therapy, special education, therapeutic residential and respite treatment, and adoption. All that we do at the RFK Children's Action Corps is based on the belief that every child deserves the chance to lead a happy, healthy and productive life. We advocate for youth at detention hearings, foster positive community interaction through our outreach programs, and provide children and families with educational and skill-building services. We also participate in community task forces and forums, collaborate with state and other child welfare agencies, and provide extensive professional development opportunities to our staff.
