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. We share important information on child well-being, provide a platform for community and youth voices, and advocate for legislation that centers young people across the State of Virginia.
