For Voices 2013 Wrap-Up of the 2013 Legislative Session

Voices for Vermont’s Children is on the ground in Winooski and Burlington.

Members and friends of Voices for Vermont’s Children gathered on Friday evening, June 3rd, at the Burlington Community Boathouse to honor our champions for kids, Senator Bernie Sanders and film director, Bess O’Brien.

Voices will hold its fifth annual conference with Public Assets Institute on Sept. 30 at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier.

On April 2, 2010, Montpelier’s Times Argus newspaper ran Voices’ critique of the controversial Challenges for Change legislation regarding education.

“If there’s one thing Vermonters can agree on, it’s that all children deserve the same opportunities in life,” says Carlen Finn, Executive Director of Voices for Vermont’s Children and member of the Vermont Child Poverty Council.

A network of state and local child advocacy organizations

Midpoint in this year’s legislative session we are putting a spotlight on our 2009 Legislative Agenda to highlight our recommendations.

Providing a good public education for our children is one of the most important things we, as a society, can do for our next generation.

Over the next few months, Voices will release links to webpages, fact sheets and issue briefs about Vermont’s children and youth, some of the important programs serving them, and the circumstances that make it difficult for many to thrive and reach their full potential.
