Our Future West Virginia

The people of Our Future West Virginia meet folks where they are as communities build local power to upend the oppressive systems around them.

Building Local Power in West Virginia

Previously known as the WV Healthy Kids and Families Coalition or Our Children Our Future, this organization has refined our work and reach to tackle the issues that matter most to West Virginian communities.

See how we have shifted our scope of work to better support community-led projects and movements.

Civic Engagement

Participating in the civic process is one of the most important ways West Virginians can have a voice. That’s why OFWV works with communities to increase voter engagement and participation in the 2020 Census. As a member of the #CountMeInWV Coalition, OFWV is working to increase Census participation in WV so that our state is accurately represented and funded.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.”
