✨ What is the Children's Agenda? PART 1 ✨ The Children’s Agenda Coalition was founded in 2014, and began its advocacy for Oregon’s children during the 2015 legislative session. In this coalition, Our Children Oregon has brought together approximately 135 nonprofits and partner organizations to develop a comprehensive legislative agenda focused on improving the well-being of children, youth, and families in Oregon. The coalition meets once a month to collaborate and discuss ideas and updates. The Children’s Agenda steering committee is made up of partners who finalize the agenda and priorities are decided by the coalition as a whole. Partners, advocates, policy makers, and community members can use the Agenda’s shared framework to align their efforts, work collaboratively, and powerfully show up for Oregon’s youth.
