Lobbying for more funding to support child welfare professionals | Episode #55

By February 5, 2024No Comments

As program manager for KidsPeace Foster Care in Kingston, NY, Jennifer Udvardi-Morris works to connect kids in need with foster families and other services.  But she’s also taken on a different task – lobbying legislators in her state to address the needs of those working in the child welfare field.

In the latest installment of the “Conversations with KidsPeace” podcast, Jennifer talks with host Bob Martin on the critical issues facing those who work in the field, and her outreach on those subjects with lawmakers in the Empire State.  

In December, Jennifer wrote a guest column for the Times-Union newspaper in New York’s state capital of Albany. You can read her column here.
