We envision a Virginia where young people can realize their brightest potential

Voices for Virginia’s Children is the commonwealth’s only independent, multi-issue child policy and advocacy organization. We are focused on children whose needs are often overlooked, concentrating our efforts on policies in early childhood, foster care and adoption, health and mental health, and family economic security.
