This council ensures that families with young children and early childhood professionals’ voices are at the center of decision making. We aim to create change by sharing the experiences, wisdom, and strategies of the Family Leaders Advisory Council members with community partners and policy makers.

This initiative focuses on increasing the resiliency of all community members, with specific initiatives targeting parents and caregivers of young children, early childhood professionals and communities at the intersection of race and poverty by ensuring that these individuals have a seat at the table and are part of designing the menu.
