VOICES FOR ALABAMAS CHILDREN

VOICES for Alabama’s Children is a Montgomery, Alabama-based nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the well-being of Alabama’s children. For over 30 years, we’ve been a powerful voice in state and national policy, representing children’s interests through research, public awareness, and advocacy. We work to ensure every child in Alabama has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Our research informs our public awareness campaigns, and our advocacy efforts drive positive change. Alabama Kids Count data provides the foundation for our work, highlighting critical needs and informing our strategies. We are committed to building a stronger Alabama for all children and families.

VOICES focuses on key areas impacting children’s lives, including healthcare, education, safety, and economic security. We champion policies that promote access to affordable healthcare, high-quality education, safe communities, and economic opportunity. We are a member of the Every Child Alabama Coalition, and have been instrumental in securing vital legislation, such as the First Class Pre-K Program and the Child Care Tax Credit.

Our advocacy efforts have led to significant policy wins, including the Alabama Child Passenger Safety Law and the Alabama Juvenile Justice Act. We are proud to have played a pivotal role in establishing Alabama as the first state to receive federal funding for ALL Kids, Alabama’s State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
