What We Stand For

The Pediatric Advocacy Alliance (PAA) is a student-led organization at Dominican University dedicated to advancing the health, rights, and well-being of childrenβ€”especially those in underserved communities.

Our mission is to promote pediatric equity through advocacy, education, and service. We empower students to take action on the issues affecting children and families by creating meaningful volunteer opportunities, raising awareness of systemic disparities, and collaborating with partners across healthcare, education, and social services.
