Voices for Illinois Children is a statewide, non-partisan advocacy organization focused on improving the lives of children across Illinois. It conducts policy research and analysis, engages in policy advocacy, and carries out strategic communications and community outreach to support policies and programs that promote well-being for children, families, and communities. The organization works with families, communities, and policymakers on education, health care, and economic security to prevent problems and strengthen social services. Founded in 1987, Voices for Illinois Children positions itself within the public policy arena as a bridge across ideological boundaries, pursuing comprehensive and cost-efficient policies for Illinois children. It operates from Chicago and coordinates statewide activities, including publishing reports such as the Illinois KIDS COUNT reports to raise public awareness and inform policy debate. In 2020, the organization released its Spring Illinois KIDS COUNT Report and a health-focused update, reflecting its ongoing role in policy research and public communication.
