Voices of Children and Voices of Kinship Caregivers Contests

Family Education & Support Services hosts the annual Washington State Voices of Children contest for children and youth, ages 5-19 years of age being raised now or in the past by a relative, other than their parents and the Voices of Kinship Caregivers.

They are invited to write a short essay, poem, or submit a drawing that depicts how living with their kinship caregivers or caring for a kinship child has made a positive difference in their life.

Each child or caregiver who enters the contest may have their artwork or written submissions included in a booklet called “Voices of Children” and “Voices of Kinship Caregivers” (without their last name or location identified). Learn more and apply today at 2024-VOC-Application-editable.pdf (familyess.org)

All entries must be submitted or postmarked by April 15, 2024.
