Voices convenes and fosters collaborations, brings stakeholders together to develop strategies to improve the quality of life of children, focusing on early care and education, prevention of child abuse, neglect and mitigaing trauma. Early Care and Education Training Initiative: This program supports non-parental caregivers who spend most waking hours nearly everyday with almost half of all young children: childcare professionals. Minimally educated and compensated, often bringing to their work a high degree of trauma themselves, they are critical in preventing and mitigating childhood trauma and promoting socio-emotional skills that support healthy non-violent behavior as well as school success. Over several years of "action advocacy" to improve childcare, it is apparent that these critical "early observers" of babies and young children could be engaged and empowered as partners in prevention as well, influencing socioemotional as well as cognitive development, and in mitigating the impact of trauma. Voices' Early Care and Education Training Initiative, providing high quality free professional development to childcare educators, has grown since 2012 in numbers reached--in the thousands, estimated to impact ten children each--in scope. Training is now livestreamed, focused on issues that have emerged or worsened with Covid including domestic violence, child abuse, asthma, hunger, as well as healing strategies and safety guidelines for childcare. The Early Care and Education Training Initiative is possible because of remarkable collaboration of over fifty organizations and partners. Pre-pandemic, in-person events served over 700 unduplicated childcare providers and directors from 2013 through January 2021, approximately 10 free all-day events each year. Since April 2020 when the format changed to live streaming, Voices has documented/verified attendance of over 5,500 individuals (not duplicated) through May 1, 2021 at seventeen training/professional development events, with a broader reach in terms of professional disciplines and geography. Attendees, after completing a post-event survey, are awarded professional development hours required for childcare professionals or CEU's for counseling or social work. 0 22199 Congress on Children: This program is normally offered every year on the last Friday in September as a community service. With community sponsors, registration is $20 per attendee for an all-day event including meals, materials and CEU's as needed, ensuring that this event is accessible to a broad and diverse audience. Congress on Children brings together over 400 local children's advocates, practitioners, researchers, and the general public to hightlight current or emerging issues, research, findings, legislation, and programs, promoting practices that strengthen families and support children's wellbeing. Nationally known and exceptional speakers every year focus on the most pressing community issues that Voices and our many partners will be working on in the coming months and years.The program was rescheduled from September 2021 to February 26, 2022 due to high Covid rates. Expenses paid in 2021 were deferred and recorded as expenses in 2022 to match the grants and contributions received. 0 68299 90498 Gregory Hudspeth Chair 3.00 0 0 0 Betty Berchelmann Secretary 2.00 0 0 0 George Block Director 1.00 0 0 0 Ricardo Cedillo Director 1.00 0 0 0 Adrian Grant Director 1.00 0 0 0 Sue Hancock Director 1.00 0 0 0 Robin Howard Director 1.00 0 0 0 Francisco Martinez Director 1.00 0 0 0 Priti Laxmi Director 1.00 0 0 0 Mandie Svatek Director 1.00 0 0 0 Eric Wilson Director 1.00 0 0 0 Kathleen A Fletcher President/CEO 40.00 20308 1007 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gregory Hudspeth PhD Chair 1707 Palmar View San Antonio TX 78260 2108588175 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 330903 346520 174879 315261 126351 1293914 330903 346520 174879 315261 126351 1293914 396684 897230 1293914 215525 0.69340 0.66510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 - Other Revenue Description: Book sales.

Part 1 The Organization received notice in June 2021 that effective on May 31, 2021, the Internal Revenue Service revoked the Organization's tax exempt status due to the apparent failure of the Organization to file Form 990s for 2018, 2019 and 2020. Subsequent to revocation, the IRS determined that the Organization had filed the 2018 Form 990 and properly extended the due date of the 2020 Form 990 to Novemeber 15, 2021. Also, the Organization successfully filed its 2020 return which was approved by the Tax Exempt Organization Section of the IRS on August 19,2021. However, the Organization was unable to raise additional charitable contributions until the tax exempt status was reinstated effective June 16, 2022. The long delay was due, for the most part, to the impact of the Pandemic on the IRS during this period. The Organization worked closely with the IRS but was not able to get a timely reinstatement. As a result, the Organization began to experience significant financial stress and negative cash flow. During 2022, the Organization was able to hold the Congress on Children program in February 2022 and conduct a limited number of Early Care and Education Training sessions through the 1st Quarter 2022. Following the 1st Quarter 2022, the program manager of the Early Care and Education Training program left employment and following the Congress on Children program, the Director of Operations and CEO left employment. The Board has been operating the Organization since that time. The Board has continued to operate in order to raise funds to either continue the mission of the Organization or conduct an orderly winding up of the Organization's affairs.
