Program: Advocacy: What is it? How to do it!  

Description: The lack of funding needed so that programs can implement the Final rule without having to cut large numbers of children and their families from programs has put Head Start in a funding crisis. We need everyone to step up their advocacy capacity and skills. This webinar will help people understand how to be an advocate, what an advocate does and how to do it with the limits of the Head Start Standards.

Learning Objectives: Attendees will learn:

  • What is educating.
  • What is advocacy.
  • What is lobbying.
  • The Head Start standards that impact doing education, advocacy, and lobbying.
  • The important role parents and staff play in education and advocating for Head Start.
