The Voices Advisory Committee meets monthly (except July and August) to provide advice and direction to the Voices team. They share information about services available to youth in and from care, and volunteer at Voices’ events.
The Advisory Committee is made up of alumni of care, child welfare professionals, and ally members of the community.
