What is the 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. Our multifaceted approach to combating lead poisoning includes increasing visibility, ensuring the effectiveness of related policies and regulations through advocacy and coalition building, and training community groups to develop and sustain their own outreach programs at the grassroots level. The Collaborative also facilitates networking on lead issues among grassroots organizations, non-profit groups, and public agencies. Through the continued commitment of these diverse groups, we aim to virtually eliminate childhood lead poisoning in Boston within the next few years.
