What is Students First? Students First Illinois (SFI) is a non-partisan, statewide, grassroots coalition of private individuals and community organizations banding together to help put Illinois' 2.2 million children first.
Education is the underpinning of our quality of life, freedom and the future of our state. Today everyone in Illinois - whether you are retired, have children, run a business or a social service agency - relies on a highly educated and productive citizenry. Illinois needs to sharpen its competitive edge. Quality education for every child will help enlarge the states' fiscal pie by nurturing more productive citizens and taxpayers.
