Children of Incarcerated Caregivers promotes the rights and best interests
of children impacted by parental incarceration worldwide.
We research issues related to parental incarceration and collaborate with diverse partners to advocate for policies and programs that support children who are impacted. We develop resources for legal professionals, provide students with meaningful research opportunities, and connect affected youth to enrichment programs.
