The Children's Partnership holds itself to definable outcomes that lead to improvements in the lives of children and families. These impacts include definition of an agenda for children on emerging issue areas where no such agenda exists, significant changes in federal and state policy to improve health and educational opportunities, and direct health and educational benefits for children and families in California communities.

At TCP we measure our impact by

• Setting the Children's Agenda on emerging issues
• Changes in public policy that improve children's lives
• Innovative pilots that demonstrate successful solutions
• Research and analysis on emerging issues
• Partnerships that strengthen the constituency for children
