Investing in Youth

Did you know that only 3% of Florida's budget goes towards children age zero to five? And that just a 1% increase could drastically improve outcomes for our youth? Our friends at the Children's Movement of Florida have put together this outstanding video to educate the public about their platform. They're a nonpartisan group that is focusing on getting our legislators to invest in youth, particularly in the following areas:

• Parent skill-building
• Mentoring
• Developmental Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment for Children with Special Needs
• Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program (VPK)
• Health Care
