Based at Yale University, the Zigler Center’s over-arching mission is to improve the well-being of children and families by bringing objective child development research into the U.S. policy and public arenas. Each year at the Zigler Center our faculty and fellows are active in several research and policy projects. Activities also include producing several policy-relevant publications, providing interviews for popular media, giving testimony at governmental proceedings, and providing support and technical assistance to a network of over 1300 public schools nationwide through the Center’s School of the 21st Century program.
