KIDS

Our mission is to improve the lives of children in Virginia by advancing effective public policies... Voices proudly serves as the KIDS COUNT data center for the state of Virginia. We are also a member of the Partnership for America's Children... 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.
