About Us


Give a Child a Voice was created to ensure that no child faces life’s hardest moments in silence. Across our communities, children encounter challenges that can feel overwhelming—bullying, abuse, and serious childhood illness. Too often, these experiences are carried quietly, without the support or understanding every child deserves.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to create awareness, provide resources, and empower children to speak up.

Through advocacy, community partnerships, and educational initiatives, Give a Child a Voice works to break the silence surrounding the struggles many young people face. By opening conversations and connecting families with support, we aim to build a world where every child knows their voice matters.
Because when a child finds their voice, healing begins—and hope grows.

Every child deserves to be heard

Give a Child a Voice

Every child deserves to be heard.
Give a Child a Voice was created to break the silence surrounding issues that affect far too many children—bullying, abuse, and serious childhood illness. We believe that when children are empowered to speak, their voices can spark awareness, inspire change, and protect others who may still be suffering in silence. Our mission is simple but powerful: create a world where no child feels invisible, unheard, or alone.

This movement was inspired by our founder, Eric Erdman, whose compassion, courage, and belief in the power of a child’s voice ignited a mission that continues to grow today. Eric believed that when even one child finds the courage to speak up, it can change the course of a life. His legacy lives on through Give a Child a Voice—fueling our work to raise awareness, empower families, and build a future where every child knows their voice matters.

Our Purpose

At the heart of Give a Child a Voice is the belief that silence should never be a child’s only option.

Children facing bullying, abuse, or serious illness often struggle not only with their circumstances, but with the feeling that they must carry those burdens alone. We are committed to changing that reality by creating safe spaces where voices are welcomed, stories are heard, and communities respond with compassion and support.

Our work focuses on three Pillars
