Hosting members of Congress at your program is one of the most powerful ways to illustrate the value of Head Start and provide lawmakers with memorable experiences that can shape their decisionmaking. These visits allow you to educate your members about Head Start’s comprehensive, community-based model and wraparound services. A personal visit also provides an opportunity for photos and positive media coverage as well as social media–for both your center and your legislator.
