Robert F. Kennedy's Legacy
Robert F. Kennedy believed that society bears a responsibility to care for its members who have no voice. At a time when our nation struggled with numerous conflicts, Kennedy dared to envision a better world. With eloquence, energy, and zeal, he reached out to people in need while challenging the more fortunate to do the same.
Since 1969, the Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps has responded to the late Senator’s call to action by working to improve the lives of children and families through care, treatment, education, and advocacy. The children we serve are challenged by a variety of emotional, psychological, health, environmental, and social issues. But whatever the obstacles, the RFK Children’s Action Corps is committed to providing every child with the opportunity to heal, learn, grow, and reach for a healthy, happy future.
