Our Mission

The mission of PVO is to make universal child care available to all families, and to organize, support, and cultivate parents and caregivers in becoming life-long advocates for their children. PVO’s programs are developed to expand local, state, and federal resources for a child care delivery system that is comprehensive, community-driven, and provides support for children and families universally. Through community organizing, parent education and leadership development, coalition building, and civic engagement, PVO elevates the visibility of low-wage working families who cannot afford the full cost of child care, and builds their power to change the systems that have failed them.
