Increase their skills and knowledge of early childhood policies and advocacy strategies.
-
Expand their connections with other family advocates, community-based organizations, and state policymakers.
-
Build confidence and self-efficacy.
-
Identify leadership opportunities to expand their influence and empower other family advocates.
