In a 501 (c) (3) charitable environment, TEAM FUTURE is a multi-partisan, strategic advocacy and equity collaboration led by a diverse group of citizen leaders to make children a top priority. Members include respected former policymakers, parents and grandparents, retired professionals, and front-line staff and leadership from child- and family-focused organizations. In this collegial big tent, a broad spectrum of views informs unified strategies to address the many gaps, inequities and insufficient resources holding children and families back. Working together in a guided and organized way, we’ll achieve results that none of us could accomplish independently. Florida must own – through actions and not just lip service – that children are the future.

Membership Opportunities

Leadership Council

A powerful and diverse group of citizen leaders, senior executives from child- and family-serving organizations and influencers who commit annually and meet regularly to develop a united awareness front. Leadership Council members have direct input into the action agenda of American Children’s Campaign. Agenda-setting working groups include special needs, child welfare, juvenile justice, racial equity and more. We encourage Leadership Council members to commit as early as possible in 2023 to receive the fullest benefit of their annual membership.

Organizational Membership

Open to professionals currently working in child- and family-serving organizations, children’s advisory boards and councils and service associations. Organizational members inform our work through structured methods such as roundtables, surveys and focus groups. Annual dues are based on an agency’s previous fiscal year expenditures (found on line 18 of an IRS 990 form). We encourage members to commit as early as possible in 2023 to receive the fullest benefit of their annual membership.

Individual Membership

Open to students, young leaders under age 25, retired professionals, parents, grandparents and community leaders who are not currently working in child- and family-serving organizations, children’s advisory boards or councils or service associations. Annual membership fuels the policy research, public education and grassroots advocacy necessary to make everyday children a top priority. We encourage members to commit as early as possible in 2023 to receive the fullest benefit of their annual membership.
