White (Position) Papers

The real work of Voices for Ohio's Children occurs at a subcommittee level. There are four substantive subcommittees in the areas of health, safety, education and economic well-being. Each of our member organizations is a participant on one of these subcommittees. Each of these committees prioritizes issues and develops position papers that in turn guide our advocacy agenda.
