Mission Statement
Kentucky Youth Advocates (KYA) is the independent voice for Kentucky’s children. We have over forty years of experience successfully advocating for policies that give children the best possible opportunities for a bright future with a vision to make Kentucky the best place in America to be young. As a multi-issue organization, we take a holistic approach that keeps kids in the center, advocating in the arenas of economic security, education, health, early childhood, child welfare, and justice. Our work includes meeting with decision-makers in Frankfort and across the state, sharing data on how Kentucky kids are faring, engaging young leaders, and mobilizing advocates across the state. We help working families make ends meet, protect kids from abuse and neglect, ensure children have access to a quality education, help kids grow up healthy and strong, and more.
