Missouri’s Alliance for Children, Youth, and Families has been
organizing Missouri Child Advocacy Day for more than 20 years to allow
child and youth advocates an opportunity to show their support for
children’s issues. Attendance at this event has continued
to increase, with more than 800 people attending last year.
The leadership committee for Missouri’s Alliance for Children,
Youth, and Families works hard to ensure that there is relevant information
for a diverse group of advocates. So, whether you work in child
welfare, early childhood, youth development, child health, or juvenile
justice, there is something for you! Child Advocacy Day events
include but are not limited to:
- Recognition of this year’s Child Advocate Award
- Workshops
- Exhibits showcasing services for children and families
- Meetings with legislators
- Networking with other advocates
- March to the Capitol and Rally
