Kids' Voice of Indiana

For over 35 years, Kids’ Voice has been a strong advocate for vulnerable children involved in the legal system, providing them with legal representation, support, and ensuring their best interests are heard. Our mission centers on creating a child-focused legal system that safeguards their well-being, prevents abuse and neglect, and promotes family preservation. We use a multi-faceted approach, which includes diligent advocacy of children’s best interests in court supported by volunteers, updated legal information and education for attorneys, providing child service professionals for the community, and providing a safe place for children and parents to spend time together.
