Who We Are
Voices for Children brings together committed local leaders in human services, government, business, faith, philanthropy, education, and advocacy to ensure that all Delaware County children have opportunities that can lead to hopeful and healthy lives.
We accomplish this in two ways:
1. By building a seamless, better coordinated system of supporting children.
2. By advocating for the policies, resources, programs, and services necessary to achieve that goal.
Strengthening the Systems That Serve Children and Families
The coalition builds collaboration among the many agencies and organizations serving children and families in Delaware County to fundamentally transform how services are delivered.
Our Impact
Collaborative Efforts
- Community Engagement: In 2019, over 160 community members committed to enhancing child wellbeing by rethinking and improving local systems. Through surveys and interviews with over 40 stakeholders, we identified key areas for improvement and began working towards our collective vision.
- Steering Committee Formation: By early 2020, we established a Steering Committee to guide our mission, vision, values, and priorities, ensuring our efforts remain focused and impactful.
Advocacy and Policy Influence
- Policy Advocacy: Since 2021, our coalition has actively engaged in advocacy with County Council, presenting at press conferences, and developing strategies to implement new policies. These actions have helped to share resources and inform legislators about the needs of our community.
- Legislative Education: We host training sessions to educate community members on how laws are made, the role of local government, and effective advocacy techniques. These sessions have empowered attendees to use data- driven talking points and personal narratives in discussions with legislators.
Data-Driven Insights
- Child Wellbeing Database: Our comprehensive database, launched in October 2023, serves as a vital tool for making grant petitions, advocating for policy changes, and identifying unmet needs within our community. This resource has been instrumental in driving informed decision-making and strategic planning.
- Legislation Tracker: Our legislation tracker keeps our community updated on proposed legislation affecting child wellbeing in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. This tool ensures that our advocacy efforts are timely and targeted.
