Join the Voices Associates Board

In February 2009, Voices for Illinois Children formed an Associates Board for young professionals. The Voices Associates Board promotes the well-being of all children in Illinois through its support of Voices for Illinois Children. Associates Board members are emerging leaders from various professions who share a passion for helping children grow up healthy, happy, safe, loved and well educated. Members contribute in a variety of ways, from organizing fundraising events that raise awareness and revenue for Voices, to sponsoring educational events that inform the broader public about key children’s issues and policies that Voices champions.
