Strategies for Children (SFC)
The Advocacy Network is an engaging, year-long experience for emerging advocacy leaders. It is a structure for connecting and supporting educator-advocates across all regions of the state, while building participants’ advocacy skills and first-hand experience.
Strategies for Children reviews, research, data, the experiences of early education, and care field, families, and communities to develop our state legislative priorities. They develop and advocate for bills that will bring about meaningful positive change for young children, families, and the Commonwealth.
