Bolder Horizon’s analysis offers the first comprehensive data-centered view of how Family First is reshaping the flow of federal child welfare funds.
three pillars support bolder horizon:
Our data-driven resources show what to think about, not what to think.
Our fellowship forges the next generation of bold, innovative leaders.
Our Civic Forum drives cross-partisan deliberation.
Whether you’re just learning what child welfare policy is or you’re a seasoned policy expert, our data-driven and nonpartisan resources will support your work.
Our policy explainers and analyses don’t just tell you what a law or program is, but where it came from, how it works, and what context you need to know as you consider reforms and alternatives.

Child and family policy needs the next generation of bold leaders. Bolder Horizon is building the infrastructure to forge them. Our Emerging Policy Leaders Fellowship Program incubates cross-partisan leaders who are ready to rethink child and family policy.
The Bolder Horizon Civic Forum is where we host cross-partisan dialogue and deliberation to drive transformational policy change.
The Civic Forum includes our digital space for hosting partner policy perspectives from leading issue experts, so you can see the breadth of thoughtful approaches to key policy issues.
Our Civic Forum also hosts events bringing together policymakers and issue experts for principled deliberation about leading issues in child and family policy.
