Advocacy

Every year, our staff works with the Oregon Alliance Legislative Committee to get an updated picture of what programs and organizations need to better support children and families across the state. We then partner with the team at BAU Oregon to determine if and how those needs can be addressed through legislation, regulatory changes, or other forms of advocacy. We push for stronger training for community-based organizations, more resources for families in need, and smart, evidence-based policies governing youth-serving programs.
