Child Watch is a non-profit community coalition of child advocates focused on making the needs of children in Allegheny County a priority. Together, we:
- Advocate: We identify issues facing our children and encourage all members of the community to become involved as a unified voice for our children.
- Educate: We take policy makers, civic leaders and stakeholders into situations where they can observe children in particular environments to gain an understanding of the problems our children face.
- Collaborate: We convene key stakeholders, individuals and organizations to share ideas and mobilize toward action.
