National Child Labor Committee (NCLC)

The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), established in 1904, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the exploitation of child labor and promoting children's rights. It works to raise awareness about the harmful effects of child labor, advocate for stronger laws and policies, and support education and safe work opportunities for children. The NCLC played a key role in influencing legislation like the Fair Labor Standards Act, which set limits on child labor. Overall, it aims to protect children from unsafe work conditions and ensure they have access to education and a healthy childhood.
