About us

Champions for Children builds stronger families in the Tampa Bay region through our child abuse prevention and family education programs. At Champions for Children, we believe... Every child deserves to feel safe at home and be successful in life. Families need accessible tools and programs to make family life the best it can be. Parents and caregivers want to nurture and bond with their babies, toddlers, and older children in healthy and productive ways. That's why our programs are designed to create positive adult-child attachments that protect against abuse and neglect. When children develop to their highest potential, the community benefits from better economic, civic, and health outcomes.
