Named in honor of American educator and cultural critic John Addison Howard, The Howard Center is unique among serious students of family, religion, and a free society. Publishers of The Family in America, New Research, and The Religion & Society Report, The Howard Center is a leader among conservative and pro-family intellectual thought. As founder and co-convener of the World Congress of Families, The Howard Center shines a bright light of truth for all families of the world struggling to keep structurally intact, educated and informed, and insulated from modernist attacks.

The Howard Center truly is a center for research, and the home for solutions. Dr. Allan C. Carlson is president of The Howard Center.

The David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies and the J. Reuben Clark School of Law, in partnership with the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University, have established World Family Policy Center to provide world-wide democratic input and effectively educate the United Nations on pro-family and other value-based issues. World Family Policy Center facilitates international democratic debate by serving as an exchange point for the discussion and evaluation of emerging international legal norms and as active participants in the debate, adoption, and implementation of UN norms. World Family Policy Center pursues these objectives by various means, including a site on the World Wide Web, consistent attendance and participation in major UN Conferences, and the sponsorship of significant world-wide conferences on family policy. Dr. Richard G. Wilkins is the director of World Family Policy Center.
