The United Agenda for Children is a coalition of citizens, civic leaders, businesses, government and community agencies who have united to make sure every child in Henderson County is safe, healthy and well educated.

On October 20, 2007, the United Agenda for Children hosted a citizen engagement event called Speak Out for Kids.  During Speak Out for Kids, residents who demographically matched our community joined together to discuss the issues facing children in our community and to set priorities for our children in the areas of health, safety and education.
