Lead Action Collaborative
The Lead Action Collaborative is a partnership of non-profit organizations, foundations, and government agencies that has been working to substantially reduce the incidence of childhood lead poisoning in Boston's highest risk neighborhoods since 1993.
"As a leading voice in the battle to improve the health and living conditions of our community's children, the Lead Action Collaborative has committed itself to the principle that children must not be unduly exposed to harmful lead in their surroundings. I applaud the dedication they have shown to the Commonwealth's youth through their efforts."
- Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Nov. 16, 2001)
