KidsVoice

Nonprofit legal advocates in Allegheny County, PA, helping current & former dependent (foster) youth

KidsVoice is a non-profit agency that advocates in court, in schools, and in the community for the legal rights of children ages birth to 24 who have experienced abuse, neglect, or are at-risk. Each year, KidsVoice represents thousands of children involved in the child-welfare system in Allegheny County’s Juvenile Court. Our staff advocate for clients in educational, medical, mental health, and social security matters, as well as provide representation for minor criminal citations and for expungement of delinquency records. We also assist our older clients as they pursue college or vocational training opportunities and transition to living independently.

When Franklin, 17, moved in with his grandmother, she quickly realized he needed more support than he had received in school. Although he was in high school, Franklin struggled to read and do simple math and had never been properly evaluated for a learning disability. With KidsVoice’s advocacy, Franklin’s grandmother was able to connect him with a school equipped to support students with intellectual and learning disabilities.

Kinship families step up in moments when children need them most. KidsVoice is here to help families navigate the systems and supports that can give children the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. 💙

Leo, 6, was abandoned by his parents who struggled with addiction and with Leo’s behaviors related to autism. Leo’s aunt stepped in to be his kinship caregiver. But as a non-verbal child, Leo was still struggling to get the support he needed at school.

KidsVoice helped the family enroll Leo in a school with stronger resources and supports for children with special needs. With more hands-on attention and therapy, Leo is making great progress in his learning.

Every family dynamic is different. What matters is that children have safe, supportive homes—and the advocacy they need to thrive in them. KidsVoice is here to help families navigate the challenges that come with caring for children in foster care, including kinship families and other caregivers who step up when children need them most. 💙

Another wonderful Taste of Sewickley in the books! We’re so grateful to everyone who makes this special evening possible year after year — from the incredible volunteer chefs and servers, to the hosts, sponsors, and generous attendees. For 11 years, this event has shown what’s possible when a community comes together, raising more than $1.2 million to support children in foster care.

A special thanks to Barb and Chuck Moser, Susan and Greg Kaminski, Enterprise Vision Technologies, Presidio, and World Wide Technology!

Kinship caregivers step up when children need them most—but they can face significant barriers, including gaps in healthcare coverage, challenges enrolling children in school, and housing and financial strains.

Supporting kinship families means making sure they have the resources, access, and support they need to thrive. KidsVoice provides advocacy to families related to financial resources and stable housing, medical insurance coverage, disability support, and special education needs, among many others.

Kinship families have powerful strengths. Their deep bonds, cultural ties, and resilience can help children feel safe, stable, and seen.

Staying connected to family, culture, and trusted caregivers can give children a stronger sense of identity, belonging, and continuity, especially during times of change and uncertainty—and can contribute to better mental health outcomes.

September is National Kinship Care Month! 🎉 Did you know 1 in 20 children in the U.S. are being raised by kinship or grandparent families?

Behind that number are millions of children being cared for by grandparents, relatives, and other loved ones who step up when they’re needed most. This month, we’re shining a light on kinship families—their strengths, their challenges, and the difference they make.
