What is Child Advocacy Day?
For more than 40 years, Child Advocacy Day has brought advocates, providers, parents, and community members together at the Missouri State Capitol to raise their voices for children’s well‑being, education, and safety.
For 2026, Kids Win Missouri is proud to host our Annual Child Advocacy Day on Wednesday, March 25, and to introduce the inaugural Child Advocacy Summit on Tuesday, March 24.
Together, these events will bring more than 500 advocates and 50 community partners to Jefferson City for legislative meetings, networking opportunities, and workshops that elevate diverse voices and advance equitable policy solutions.
Thank you for being a champion for Missouri’s children and families! We look forward to seeing you there and continuing our work together to strengthen outcomes for Missouri’s children and families.
