Voices for Children

Voices for Children is a non-profit coalition of associations and individuals united by a vision to assure all children the opportunity to achieve their full measure of physical and mental health. The coalition looks at parenting, intergenerational, multicultural and multi-faith influences, the impact of television, the importance of workplace policies and child care programs that support working parents, and the lack of sufficient funds for specialized services for children at risk of school failure, violence, delinquency, mental or physical disorders, suicide and chronic dependency. Membership is $25 for individuals; $75 for organizations; subscription to the newsletter only is $10/year.
