Would you like to make a difference in the lives vulnerable Minnesota children?
You can!
It is amazing the difference that one person can make!
We invite you to join us at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul on Wednesday March 22nd!
This is a special annual event where we visit the Minnesota State Capitol together to meet with our respective State Representatives and Senators and speak up for the needs of vulnerable, abused, and neglected Minnesota children. We help educate our elected officials on the challenges that these children face and let our elected officials know how they can help!
We help you schedule your short appointments to speak with your two legislators, and we gear the one or two appointments to fit your scheduling needs. (Usually folks commit to attending the event for a few hour window during the day that fits your schedule. Please indicate your scheduling preferences during the registration process.)
First time visiting with your elected officials? That's ok! We help train you with our training video and handouts, and give you the tools you need to feel confident and successful advocating for children with us. Our elected officials love to hear from you, their constituents, and they are excited to meet you and and learn more about how they can help Minnesota children!
Thank you for helping speak up children! They need us to speak up!

Your voice matters
Last year Minnesota children were safer and received more services due in large part to the loyal donors and passionate volunteers of Safe Passage for Children of Minnesota. 13,600 more children annually are getting help from county child protection agencies due to changes our passionate volunteers helped make in state law.
In addition, counties and the state increased their budgets for child protection and foster care by over $200 million since 2015. Counties also added nearly 500 caseworkers – a 60% increase. But many challenges remain for vulnerable, neglected, and abused children in Minnesota, this year and into the future, and you are their voice at the Capitol!
Our mission is to ensure that Minnesota has a child welfare system in which children are safe and reach their full potential.
Our goal is a Minnesota child protection and foster care system in that continuously improves the lives of children, as demonstrated by objective, measurable outcomes. If the system is working well, children’s outcomes will improve over time.
