KidsVoice PA

KidsVoice is recognized as a national model for multidisciplinary child advocacy. We are a non-profit agency that advocates in court and in the community to ensure a safe and permanent home for abused, neglected, and at-risk children.

Each year, KidsVoice represents nearly 3,000 children involved in the child-welfare system in Allegheny County’s Juvenile Court. These children range in age from birth to twenty-one and are of every ethnicity, race, gender and socioeconomic status, the majority being from families with incomes below the federal poverty guidelines.

Child advocacy at KidsVoice goes beyond the traditional child welfare and juvenile court arenas. Our staff advocate for clients in educational, medical, mental health and social security matters as well as providing representation for minor criminal citations and for expungement of delinquency records. We also assist our older clients as they pursue college or vocational training opportunities and transition to living independently.
