Uniting three unique groups of Illinois civic leaders, CLIC advocates for effective investments in children that strengthen public safety, the economy, and our national security. Read more about CLIC here.
On this website, you’ll find the perspectives of our state’s business leaders (ReadyNation Illinois), law enforcement leaders (Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois) and retired military leaders (Mission: Readiness Illinois) as they get the word out to policymakers and the public about what really works to ensure better outcomes for children, their communities, and our state. These membership organizations have been active in Illinois for more than 25 years.
From Chicagoland to Peoria to Marion, Illinois civic leaders are speaking out for evidence-based strategies that help children develop the skills they need to become successful adults. These start with high-quality programs for infants and toddlers, child care, preschool, after-school programs, and other efforts that support children’ s healthy physical, social, and cognitive development.
We’ll share research, photos of events, blog posts from our members, and more. Stay tuned! In the meantime, please visit our social media pages for up-to-date information:
