What We Do

The Alliance advances the well-being of kids and the grown-ups in their lives. We champion critical issues, align leaders, and deliver solutions where they’re needed most. 

We exist to prevent and alleviate childhood trauma in Southwest Missouri and promise to do what needs to be done to keep the kids in our community safe. 

The Alliance won’t stop until Southwest Missouri is a dynamic, safe community where kids and grown-ups thrive.

Since 1998, The Alliance has evolved and grown tremendously to serve our local communities better. We offer activities and programs to a four-county service area at minimal or no cost to qualifying residents. We are the hand-up to the children and families of Southwest Missouri and will continue to work hand in hand with our many outstanding community partners and neighbor agencies. 

The Alliance of Southwest Missouri is a 501(c)3 organization. Contributions may be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
