Voices of Tomorrow

2023-25 Award - Systems and Policy Change - $125,000 per year

In 2023-2025, Voices of Tomorrow (VOT) worked toward systems and policy change to bring economic equity to immigrant and refugee Family Child Care (FCC) providers in King County. VOT worked toward state legislative policy changes to remove restrictions on FCC businesses in homes; policy changes at a state, county, city level to fund licensed FCC providers on par with licensed childcare centers; and systemic change to implement new inclusive practices in places where governmental agencies develop funding mechanisms that affect immigrant and refugee FCC providers.
