Voices for Virginia's Children is a statewide, nonpartisan research and advocacy organization that champions public policies to improve the lives of Virginia's Children. We are the independent voice advocating for children, especially those who are disadvantaged or otherwise vulnerable and who often go unheard in the public policy arena. Using our KIDS COUNT system, we track multiple indicators of the well-being of Virginia's children and use that information to identify unmet needs and guide policy recommendations. Through research, data-based policy solutions, and vigorous advocacy, we inspire Virginia's leaders and citizens to make children a higher public policy priority. Voices is a member of the Partnership for America's Children and is home to the Virginia KIDS COUNT data center, which is supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. KIDS COUNT is a nationwide initiative to measure child well-being and promote data-based policy solutions.Voices for Virginia's Children is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization.
