About This Event

Join Kentucky Youth Advocates and Paducah Cooperative Ministries as we bring together local advocates and decision makers to discuss regional data on how kids are faring, elevate the most pressing issues impacting kids and families, and identify actionable strategies for change. 

Attendees will learn about the Blueprint for Kentucky’s Children, policy priorities that support kids and families, and upcoming advocacy opportunities.

  • Advocates for kids and families
  • Young people
  • Elected leaders
  • Other community voices in the region

Goals of the regional convening: 

  • Create opportunities for connection and dialogue among advocates, youth, and elected officials
  • Equip attendees with advocacy skills and upcoming advocacy opportunities 
  • Highlight potential state policy items that support kids and families
  • Share regional child well-being data and trends

*Lunch will be provided to registered attendees.
