The Project to Reduce Racial Disparities in Dane County

Wisconsin Council on Children and Families:

Profound and persistent racial disparities in health, education, child welfare, criminal justice, employment, and income are common across the United States and in Wisconsin. These racial disparities compromise the life chances of many children and families and thwart our common interest that every child grows up healthy, safe and successful.

The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families (WCCF) aspires to make a greater contribution to narrowing and ultimately eliminating racial disparities in Wisconsin. We are beginning with a multi-year "Project to Reduce Racial Disparities in Dane County" and hope subsequently to move into a broader effort to reduce racial disparities across Wisconsin.
