At Speak Up for Kids, we believe in the power of student leadership to shape the future of child advocacy. We respect and embrace bold ideas that create real, sustainable impact—because when young changemakers step up, the system and the people within it benefit.
PARENTS Speak Up for Kids is a testament to that belief. Inspired by student intern Alisha Motiwala’s vision, this initiative was developed to fill a critical gap in support for parents and caregivers navigating foster care. Her passion for mental health advocacy and commitment to meaningful change helped lay the foundation for this program, reinforcing our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and advocacy that truly makes a difference.
