What do we do?

We do the research. We make sure policymakers and the public have the facts—tracking data on how kids and families are doing, providing practical analysis of issues and policies that affect children and families, and showing what needs to be done to support their healthy development.

We work with others. We don’t go it alone. We work in coalitions, weorganize outreach to communities, and we listen and learn from people who are concerned about the well-being of children.

We advocate at the Statehouse. We always ask the question, is it good for kids? It’s our job to ensure that the needs of children are raised in every policy debate affecting kids and their families.

We reach out to Vermonters by communicating about issues, encouraging public debate, and promoting action by community members across the state on behalf of children and youth.

We mobilize Vermonters to infl uence key policy debates affecting children and families—by contacting their legislators, writing letters to the editor, or sharing research and data in community meetings.
