Advocates For Children

GFWC Juniors’ Special Program: Advocates for Children is designed to encourage all Woman’s, Junior Woman’s, Juniorette, and
International Affiliate Clubs to make a difference in the life of a child by being an advocate. The definition of child advocacy is
“support for children who are in a vulnerable position in society or in a vulnerable situation.”
During the 2020-2022 Administration, our aim is to honor our roots and be a voice for children. The Program includes a special
focus in two areas: (1)To advocate for art curriculums and outdoor activities at schools for all students, including those with
disabilities, and to highlight the value of art and outdoor programs as therapy and enrichment for children with emotional, mental,
and physical challenges, and (2) To advocate for education and training that helps parents and other caregivers be the best advocate
possible for a child in emergency and other health situations.

March of Dimes

Why does March of Dimes matter? Because we all know babies and families affected by premature birth, birth defects, and infant death. Our babies deserve better! With your participation, more women will have full-term pregnancies and more babies will begin healthy lives. And if something goes wrong, the March of Dimes offers information and comfort to families. GFWC and March of Dimes have worked together on improving the health of babies for over 70 years. Let’s work together for moms, babies, and families.
