A resolution designating September 2024 as "National Child Awareness Month" to promote awareness of charities that benefit children as well as youth-serving organizations throughout the United States and recognizing the efforts made by those charities and organizations on behalf of children and youth as critical contributions to the future of the United States.
SRES 792 is a Senate resolution designating September 2024 as "National Child Awareness Month" to spotlight charities and youth-serving organizations across the U.S. that support children. It aims to raise public awareness of these groups and recognize their work in providing critical services like healthcare, education, and support for at-risk youth - including children experiencing homelessness, foster care, trafficking, violence, trauma, or serious health needs. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges these organizations' contributions as vital to the nation's future. This symbolic designation encourages public attention and appreciation for child-focused efforts during the school year's start in September.
