The Raising RI Coalition is dedicated to lifting children out of poverty by increasing the RI Works* benefit and to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing parents with education and training opportunities leading to well-paying, secure jobs. Rhode Island KIDS COUNT is a Coalition member. For more, please visit www.raisingri.org.

*RI Works is the state’s cash assistance program for children and their parents or caregivers and a work preparation program for the adults.
