Overview

Mission

Voices for Children of San Antonio Community Research Center (Voices) expands the community's capacity to respond to current and emerging needs of children through purposeful and strategic advocacy to improve programs, practices, and policies. Voices convenes and fosters collaborations, brings stakeholders together to develop strategies to improve the quality of life of children, focusing on early care and education, prevention of child abuse, neglect and mitigaing trauma. However, due to the lack of funding, the Organization has not been able to carryout its mission during 2024. See Schedule O for further discussion.

What it reported doing in 2024

Early Care and Education Training Initiative: This program supports non-parental caregivers who spend most waking hours nearly everyday with almost half of all young children: childcare professionals. Minimally educated and compensated, often bringing to their work a high degree of trauma themselves, they are critical in preventing and mitigating childhood trauma and promoting socio-emotional skills that support healthy non-violent behavior as well as school success. Over several years of "action advocacy" to improve childcare, it is apparent that these critical "early observers" of babies and young children could be engaged and empowered as partners in prevention as well, influencing socioemotional as well as cognitive development, and in mitigating the impact of trauma. Voices' Early Care and Education Training Initiative, providing high quality free professional development to childcare educators, has grown since 2012 in numbers reached--in the thousands, estimated to impact ten children each--in scope. During 2024, the Organization was unable to hold this program event for lack of funding.
