Conquering CHD’s annual advocacy conference in Washington, D.C. is virtual in 2021. Junior advocates can access recorded content, as well as printable materials, in lieu of attending the full virtual conference. Advocates ages 13+ are encouraged to attend the full virtual conference with a parent/guardian.

Kids of all ages make fantastic advocates! Their honesty and humor, tied to the promise of the future, alway gets the attention of Members of Congress and their staff. With a little practice, kids can be just as prepared as their adults to use their #CHDVoice.

We hope families will use the materials below and join us in person in 2022. Have fun, kids!
