The Children's Initiative

The Children's Initiative, a project of the J.B. and M.K. Pritzker Family Foundation, seeks to enhance the early learning capabilities of infants and toddlers, with a special focus on at-risk children.

Inspired by the early childhood development work of the late philanthropist Irving Harris and motivated by the belief that all children are born with great potential, The Children's Initiative supports policies, programs, research, and advocacy to allow at-risk children to achieve better economic, educational, and social outcomes.

The Harris School

The Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago prepares men and women to solve some of society's most complex problems-issues in the economy, public finance, the environment, education, family well-being, health care, welfare reform, international relations. Established in 1988, the Harris School emerged from an interdepartmental Committee on Public Policy Studies and offers a range of master's degree programs in public policy as well as a doctoral degree program. From its inception, the Harris School has sought to enhance the University's role in shaping and understanding public life by conducting policy-relevant research and preparing talented individuals to become leaders and agents of social change.
