Family Voices at the Statehouse!

At Groundwork Ohio, we believe that parents and families are the experts of their own experiences and know what their babies and toddlers need to thrive. Family Voices at the Statehouse is a statewide effort to elevate family leadership and impactful advocacy. The May 27 event brought together family advocates with young children from across Ohio with state policymakers and staff for a day centered on joy, storytelling, and collective action.
