“Justice, dignity, equality – these are words which are often used loosely, with little appreciation of their meaning. I think that their meaning can be distilled into one goal: that every child in this country live as we would want our own children to live.”

  • Welcome

    Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps is a leader in child welfare and juvenile justice in Massachusetts. Every year, we help hundreds of children, youth, and their families deal successfully with behavioral and emotional issues at  facilities throughout the state. Our innovative and comprehensive programming, which includes residential treatment, educational services, community-based services, and therapeutic support, helps the children we serve grow into healthy and productive members of their communities. We bring compassion and creativity to all we do and provide a stable and nurturing environment in which children heal, learn, grow, and succeed.

  • Choose Adoption Through Bright Futures

    Bright Futures Adoption Center, a program of Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps, Inc., is a licensed, non-profit, domestic Massachusetts adoption agency with two programs:

    Infant Adoption Program — Placing infants born in the United States

    Adoption and Permanency Program — Finding “forever families” for children of all ages currently waiting in the Massachusetts foster care system.

  • Embracing the Legacy: 50 Years

    In 1969, a group of young leaders decided to take on Robert F. Kennedy’s call to action by working to improve the lives of children and families through care, treatment, education and advocacy. Now, 50 years later, they reflect on what motivated them to create an organization built on the legacy of Robert F. Kennedy. Watch the video here.
