The Children's Movement of Fresno is a resident-driven, community-based organization dedicated to making Fresno the "best place to raise a family." Residents are indispensable in driving positive change by assuming leadership roles, taking proactive action, and actively participating as vital community members in leading high-impact campaigns. TCM firmly believes that effective policymaking in crucial areas such as housing, mental health, and education must be co-created with and reflect the diverse voices of residents, youth, and children directly impacted by these issues. Empowering our community, TCM Fresno organizes and trains families, providing them with the tools needed to become effective change agents. The Fresno Residents Council and Fresno Youth Residents Council are at the heart of our operational model, which is a powerful catalyst for all TCM initiatives. Additionally, TCM Fresno ensures children are centered in regional convenings, monthly issue reports, and all communications, ensuring their active participation in shaping the future of Fresno.
