Advocacy

Children's Home Society of Washington has been a long-standing voice for children and families since its founding in 1896. We inform local and national policy makers of specific issues and the urgent need to improve the welfare of our state's most vulnerable citizens.

Our advocacy efforts have resulted in new funding, policies, and legislation that support the healthy development of children and their families. As champions for children, we're working to ensure that every child thrives and every family succeeds in Washington.

Children's Home Society of Washington: Fulfilling the promise of every child. For more information on CHSW's advocacy efforts, contact our Director of Public Policy, Laurie Lippold, at 1-800-456-3339 or by e-mail.
