Voices for Healthy Kids, an innovative initiative of the American Heart Association, works around the country to improve or build equitable policies at the tribal, state and local levels to make the places kids live, learn, and play healthier. The Voices initiative is committed to advancing health and racial equity through elevating public health issues by centering the communities most impacted by the needed policy changes. Voices has also contributed to growing access to decision-makers and building the advocacy skills and capacity of small, community-based organizations led by and representing Black, African American, Latino, Native American, Alaskan Native, Hawaiian Native, Pacific Islander, and Asian American communities and families with low incomes. Those skills and relationships are carried over into any other issues these grantees and partners work on in the future.
The Voices for Healthy Kids National Senior Advocacy Consultant is responsible for providing strategic consultation and mentorship, as well as technical assistance to policy change campaigns across the country starting where the needs are greatest and disparities exist. National Senior Advocacy Consultants work to boost capacity and build skills to increase the potential to pass good public policy today and, in the future, all with a focus on equity. National Senior Advocacy Consultants are colleagues, thought partners, sounding boards, innovative thinkers and cheerleaders in developing and refining campaign strategy with a continuous focus on building equity; supporting campaigns to find paths to success and the meaningful engagement of community; and partners on the best practices for building capacity and transferring power to organizations and individuals most impacted by disparities.
