Policy Agenda
We envision a society that ensures a successful future for all children.
This policy agenda outlines a clear set of priorities designed to address the persistent disparities and expand opportunities and access for Ohio’s children and families. By aligning policy, practice, and community vision, we can create systems and solutions to ensure that our communities have the resources and support they need to thrive. Our agenda is also deeply rooted in community voice.

These reflections represent the lived experiences of children, caregivers, and community members, and they ground each policy goal and strategy in the realities of those most impacted.
