Voices for Children of San Antonio
Annual
Congress on Children

Voices for Children (then called Vision for Children) convened their first “Congress on Children” on July 1st, 1997 at the International Center of the University of the Incarnate Word. Nearly 150 community stakeholders gathered to develop a children’s agenda for San Antonio and begin building coalitions to address a prioritized list of those needs.

Many of those coalitions have developed into efforts of their own—Health Care for Every Child is a prime example. Others have transformed into special interest Task Forces that continue to meet to identify and address issues.
