POPVOX Foundation Creates Children’s Book for New Members with Kids

To support Congressional families as they approach starting a new term in Congress together, POPVOX Foundation created “Welcome to Washington,” a children’s book designed to enhance their experience in Washington, DC.

“Welcome to Washington” gives Congressional kids an opportunity to learn and explore what makes our nation’s capital - and their parents’ new job - so special, including:

• how Congress works and what their parent’s new role will be

• a scavenger hunt across the Capitol complex

• fun facts about the Capitol and DC

• best museums and monuments for kids

During New Member Orientation (NMO) and Congressional transition, there are opportunities to increase the focus on impacts of Congressional life on a Member’s family. Resources like “Welcome to Washington” aid and support members as they assume their new role by encouraging connection between families and improving both their social and overall experience while in DC.

A PDF version of “Welcome to Washington” is available here.
