Organizer of CONFERENCE: Public Education that Works for All Children
Public Assets’ mission is to improve the well-being of ordinary citizens, especially the most vulnerable, by conducting research and fiscal analysis, disseminating information, and developing and advancing policies that state government can enact.
Voices for Vermont’s Children's mission is to promote public policy that enhances the lives of children and youth in Vermont. We pursue our mission by integrating quantitative and qualitative research with in-depth knowledge of Vermont’s public sector and robust, inclusive coalition-building. We focus our efforts on our most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and youth, recognizing when all children thrive, our families and communities thrive. Our goal is to advance policies that support and protect Vermont children of all ages in such issues as health, child welfare, juvenile justice, public education, child care and child poverty.
