The Lehigh Valley Business Education Partnership is a company based in Lehigh Valley, PA.

Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health, education, and overall well-being of Pennsylvania’s 2.6 million children. It leads Pennsylvania’s Kids Count® state network, managing the PA Kids Count Data Center, which tracks and analyzes over 150 indicators of child well-being across demographics, economic status, education, health, safety, and family factors. The non-profit company is based in Harrisburg, PA. The organization advocates for data-driven, research-based investments and policies that promote family stability, racial equity, and dismantle systemic barriers affecting children’s opportunities. This data informs public policy advocacy and supports efforts to improve outcomes for children and families statewide. The organization emphasizes expanding access to affordable, high-quality early care and education, including infant/toddler care and pre-kindergarten, and partners with campaigns to address shortages in early childhood educators and unserved eligible children. In child welfare, it works to strengthen community prevention, increase kinship care, reduce unnecessary group placements, improve foster youth outcomes, and ensure access to mental and behavioral health services. Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children also hosts chapters of national networks that engage law enforcement, military, and business leaders in advocating for investments in children to enhance public safety, workforce readiness, and economic strength. The organization monitors and responds to policy changes, including federal Medicaid and SNAP cuts, highlighting their risks to child health and economic security, and provides resources to support equitable, evidence-based policies.
