ADVOCACY ALERTS

Current Call to Action

Westchester Children’s Association is committed to ensuring that every child is healthy, safe, and prepared for life challenges regardless of race or zip code. We collaborate with local, state, and national partners to identify children’s needs, raise awareness, and advocate for policies and programs that strengthen their well-being.


In our 2026–27 budget recommendations, we are prioritizing early childhood supports, child poverty, youth justice, youth well-being and child & youth homelessness. Acknowledging the barriers children and families face in accessing critical resources, we are dedicated to advancing policies that give every child in New York State the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential.
