Policy & Advocacy

PSS addresses the policies that affect Philadelphia’s children by advocating directly at the city, state, and federal levels.  Legislative briefs, statewide polling, and meetings with elected officials on City Council, in Harrisburg and in Washington, D.C., are among the efforts PSS takes on to create and sustain awareness about issues important to the well-being of children and youth.
