Big wins for kids don't just happen by accident. They happen because of advocacy – when skilled professionals backed by thoughtful funders show policymakers that government can and should act to keep kids safe and help them grow. As a multi-issue child advocacy organization, Voices for Utah Children is making a difference in our kids' lives by:
Raising awareness. Through research, media campaigns and advocacy work, it continues to communicate the most vital needs of Utah's children.
Influencing policy. By having a voice in decisions made by policymakers, it helps ensure that the needs of children are raised in every policy debate.
Uniting the community. By bringing the power of a community together – legislators, business executives, private funders, government agency representative, nonprofit directors, and ordinary citizens – it helps identify and resolve the tough problems facing Utah's children and families.
