In
the Advocates for Children program, you will learn how to advocate
for a better life for children in your community and the nation. No
matter what your career will be, there will be opportunities for you
to be a child advocate. We hope that, as professionals, parents, or
public citizens, you will take seriously the charge of this program
to continue to advocate for children throughout your lives.
