What are the top challenges in First Coast neighborhoods today? What programs and community strategies have been proven to be most successful? How can we improve the safety net for at-risk children and families?

The answers to those questions and more will be discussed at the Candidates for Kids: First Coast Forum, a non-partisan information exchange for all candidates for state and local elected office, community leaders, media and business professionals, child advocates, and concerned citizens. Organized by The Children’s Campaign in partnership with The Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center, specific issues to be discussed include child sex trafficking, and concerns regarding juvenile justice, child welfare and mental health.

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.

The Children’s Campaign is Florida’s leading child advocacy organization. What most differentiates The Children’s Campaign from other child advocacy organizations is we advocate for the “whole child” – we are not a single-issue organization. We are non-partisan, nonprofit and accept no government money. Since 1992, The Children’s Campaign has led or championed major reforms for Florida’s children.

The Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center provides cutting edge advocacy, research, training/technical assistance and model programming to bring about unprecedented systemic reform for girls and young women in or at risk of entering the juvenile justice and child welfare systems in Northeast Florida.
