Proudly tell your story
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is raise your voice.
Through our advocacy work, we strive to amplify the voices of grandparent caregivers, ensuring that their experiences and challenges are heard and understood by policymakers, community leaders, and the public. We advocate for policies and initiatives that address the unique needs of grandparent-headed households, including access to resources, legal protections, and support services.
