Voices for Virginia’s Children champions public policies and legislation that achieve positive and equitable outcomes for young people.
Founded in 1994, Voices for Virginia’s Children is the commonwealth’s only independent, multi-issue child policy and advocacy organization. We are home to the KIDS COUNT data center for Virginia, which includes more than 200 state- and locality-level indicators on child well-being over time. Using this data and our independent policy research, we determine unmet needs and threats to child well-being, recommend sound policy solutions, provide objective input to policymakers, and educate and mobilize leaders and concerned citizens to support policy initiatives.
Voices for Virginia’s Children envisions a Virginia in which our systems center young people, ensuring their ability to realize their brightest potential is no longer predictable by race, socioeconomic status, or geography.
Voices for Virginia’s Children champions public policies and legislation that achieve positive and equitable outcomes for young people.
We are particularly focused on children whose needs are often overlooked, concentrating our efforts on policies in the areas of early childhood, foster care and adoption, health and mental health, and family economic security.
The impact of our work is felt by children, youth, and families throughout Virginia.
Each gift you give enables the Voices team to further advocate for young people, conduct vital research, and educate the public.
