Support Kentucky’s Independent Voice for Kids

For nearly 50 years, Kentucky Youth Advocates (KYA) has worked to improve child well-being, public policies, and systems that influence the lives of children, families, and communities. KYA is the only multi-issue, statewide child advocacy organization in Kentucky and is unique in the role it plays to improve systems that children interact with. Rather than helping one family at a time, KYA creates positive outcomes for all families by working at the system and policy levels.

As the independent voice for Kentucky’s kids, KYA seeks to:

• Ensure policymakers create investments and policies that are good for all children.
• Mobilize advocates to take action on behalf of kids and families through rallies, trainings, and partnerships.
• Amplify youth voices by training the next generation of leaders to advocate for themselves and their communities.
• Conduct research and education that informs and recommends solutions to help kids and families succeed.

Kids are counting on all of us — policymakers, advocates, and community leaders — to enact solutions that will support their overall wellbeing. Thanks to advocates like you, we’ll continue to be a strong, independent voice for Kentucky’s kids for years to come.
