Voices for Virginia's Children

This Child Health Day, let’s address the truly frightening reality: 80,000 children in Virginia are living without health insurance. At Voices for Virginia’s Children, we are working tirelessly to close this gap and make #CoverAllKids a reality. Every child deserves access to healthcare, and every community member has a role in making this vision come true. Together, we can make sure that no child’s future is haunted by a lack of access to health services. Let’s put an end to this scary statistic! ??

We are excited to share something new with you! For the past 30 years, Voices has focused on children whose needs are often overlooked, concentrating our efforts on policies in the areas of early childhood, foster care and adoption, health and mental health, and family economic security. The impact of our work is felt by children, youth, and families throughout Virginia, and as we move in a redefined direction with our 2024-2027 strategic plan (sharing soon), we also have a few "new" things we want to share over the next few months.
