Our impact isn't just measured by how many children we reach, but by how we show up when they need us most.

At Voices, we step in where the gaps exist. We respond to immediate needs, remove barriers, create opportunities, and provide the follow-through that helps children and families keep moving forward.

Sometimes it means responding quickly so a child has what they need, when they need it. Sometimes it means making sure a child has the same experiences as their peers. Sometimes it means opening a door to a new opportunity, helping a family find the right resource, or simply making sure someone isn't lost in the process.

That is what being a safety net looks like.

This year's impact reflects thousands of moments when a need was identified and Voices was there to help meet it. And as we continue to grow, so does our commitment to showing up with care, dignity, and urgency for the children and families we serve. 💙💚🧡 by @browardvoices

Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference.

A car seat. A new experience. A teddy bear. A need identified in court. One barrier removed.

On their own, they may seem like small things. But for a child in foster care, they can mean safety, comfort, confidence, normalcy, stability, or one less barrier standing in the way of permanency.

At Voices, we serve as a safety net for children in foster care. We respond to immediate needs, remove barriers, create opportunities, connect resources, and provide the follow-through that helps make sure a child is not lost in the process.

Swipe through to see what that can look like.

Because sometimes the smallest things are what make it possible for a child to simply be a kid. And it all matters. 💙💚🧡

Mystery solved! 🔎🐾 Last night’s Scooby-Doo Voices in Action was such a fun one.
⠀
Together, we packed more than 150 Mystery Bags filled with Halloween surprises for our upcoming Scooby-Doo’s Spooktacular Mystery Pickup for the children we serve.
⠀
There was plenty of packing, a little mystery-solving, and a whole lot of teamwork as we got everything ready for the big day. These behind-the-scenes moments are part of what makes Voices in Action so special, giving our community a closer look at the work we do and a chance to be part of it firsthand.
⠀
A Scooby-sized thank you to everyone who joined the Mystery Inc. crew for the night! 🐾 Your time, energy, and enthusiasm made the evening so much fun, and we’re so grateful you helped us get ready for the mystery ahead. 💙
⠀
And we’re already looking forward to our next Voices in Action. We hope you’ll join us to learn more about our work, see what happens behind the scenes, and be part of making these moments possible for the children we serve. 💙💚🧡 by @browardvoices

October 8 is DAF Day, a national day that encourages people with Donor-Advised Funds to use those charitable dollars to support the causes and organizations that matter to them.

At Voices, we know that sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference.

A car seat can remove a barrier and help a child get where they need to go safely. A teddy bear can bring comfort during an uncertain moment. A Dream BIG Day can give a child the chance to try something new, build confidence, and simply enjoy being a kid. And a need identified in court can begin a chain of advocacy, coordination, resources, and follow-through that helps a child move closer to stability and permanency.

That is what your giving makes possible.

As we begin thinking about year-end giving, DAF Day is also a great reminder that there are many ways to make an impact. In addition to recommending a grant through your Donor-Advised Fund, Voices can also accept gifts of appreciated stock and other securities.

However you choose to give, your generosity helps us meet immediate needs, remove barriers, create opportunities, provide follow-through, and protect childhood for the children we serve. 💙💚🧡

We recently held our final Youth System Organizers of Broward (YSO) meeting, bringing an important season of work to a close.

YSO brings together young adults with lived experience in the child welfare system and system professionals to make sure youth voice is part of the conversations and decisions that shape the system.

Over the past year, these incredible young adults facilitated conversations with youth in care, gathering honest feedback about what is working, where gaps still exist, and what youth need from the systems that serve them.

Our final meeting gave us the opportunity to reflect on what we heard and begin thinking about how to share those findings with our community, so youth voice can continue to inform the work ahead.

It has truly been a privilege to serve with this group and learn from such thoughtful, passionate young adults and community leaders. 💙 by @browardvoices

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 💜

This month is an opportunity to raise awareness, recognize the signs of abuse, stand with survivors, and remind our community that domestic violence is never something anyone should have to face alone.

At Voices, we are part of the safety net for children and families impacted by domestic violence. We work alongside caregivers, domestic violence professionals, the courts, and community partners to help survivors and their children access the practical support they need, from food and clothing to car seats, emergency essentials, and other resources that can help create safety and stability.

Because supporting survivors also means helping protect the children whose lives are impacted by domestic violence. by @browardvoices

Sometimes the simplest things make a holiday feel special.

A favorite meal. A full table. Time together. And for a child in foster care, the chance to simply enjoy Thanksgiving without worrying about what comes next.

Our Thanksgiving Food Drive is helping provide holiday meals for children in foster care and the families caring for them.

We are collecting non-perishable Thanksgiving food items and Publix gift cards through November 13.

Help us fill Thanksgiving tables and make the holiday a little brighter for the children we serve. Click our link in bio. 🧡 by @browardvoices

💙 Celebrating with Purpose 💙

For my birthday this year, I wanted to celebrate a little differently—by giving back to our community.

Infinite Yoga® is proud to support Voices for Children of Broward County, an organization serving children in foster care throughout Broward County through advocacy, resources, essential needs, educational support, and opportunities that help children feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Yoga is so much more than what we practice on the mat. Seva—selfless service—is yoga in action. It is compassion, connection, and using what we have to help lift others.

🎂 So, in lieu of birthday gifts, I’ve created a Facebook birthday fundraiser benefiting Voices for Children of Broward County.

If you would like to celebrate with me, please consider making a donation. No amount is too small. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this post or the fundraiser can help bring more eyes to this important work. 💙

Thank you to the team at Voices for Children of Broward County for the work you do every day for children in our community—and for the opportunity for Infinite Yoga® to support your mission.

Donate. Share. Make a difference.

With gratitude,
Sara 🙏
Founder, Infinite Yoga®

On Thursday night, our Dream BIG Day took us to Disney On Ice: Spotlight Magic, where Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and so many favorite Disney stories came to life on the ice.

The kids got to meet Minnie Mouse, enjoy cotton candy, pick out stuffies, bubble makers, and light-up wands, and just take in all of the excitement of the night.

These are the kinds of experiences that matter. Dream BIG Days give the children we serve the chance to step away from everything else for a little while, simply be kids, and make memories that feel special, joyful, and all their own.

A special thank you to @dureecopr, @feldentertainment, and @disneyonice for helping make this magical night possible.

Creating core memories, one Dream BIG Day at a time. ✨ by @browardvoices
