Children's Advocacy means to speak up and take action on behalf of children. It is something that most of us do routinely on behalf of our families, our neighbors, our friends, and ourselves.

The Children's Advocacy Initiative at Mott

The mission of the Children's Advocacy Initiative is to provide a persuasive and influential voice for children who cannot advocate for themselves while promoting policies and programs that improve children's health. The Children's Advocacy Initiative raises awareness about the challenges facing today's families and builds community support to create better lives for children.

Sign up for the Children's Advocacy Initiative and you will receive action alerts and tips for communicating with legislators. You will be invited to events to help you get involved on behalf of children. Help ensure that children's issues remain a priority both in our community and in our state.
