This resource was informed and named by the Colorado Department of Human Services' Family Voice Council. Members believed a compass helps find direction. People use a compass to guide their way, whether it is on a hiking trail or heading to a new location. Use this compass to guide your efforts to empower families and communities.

The Family Voice Compass provides useful information, tools, and resources to help create your own family voice structure for your organization, program, or department. These tools are based on the model used by Colorado's Family Voice Council and will help your efforts to focus on those who have actually utilized your services and programs.
