From the turn of the century to the turn of the millennium, Children's Home Society of Washington has been a voice for children. Often representing those who have no noticeable voice, advocacy on behalf of children and their families individually and at the policy level is fundamental to CHSW's mission. Our statement of strategic intent clearly identifies the commitment we have to "be recognized as Washington's premier children's service and advocacy organization."

This section contains valuable information regarding the legislative process, tips for communication, who's who in the legislature, how to be an advocate and our 2004 CHSW legislative position papers.
