We're elevating family voices to shape policies that directly impact the well-being of young children.
Too often, families are not included in the policymaking process that deeply affects their lives and the lives of their young children. Groundwork Ohio's statewide Family Action Network is a powerful and diverse coalition of families from across the state working to empower parents and caregivers to actively participate in the policymaking process. By fostering a diverse and inclusive coalition, we are amplifying the voices of those who have historically been excluded, working to create a system where families have a genuine influence in shaping Ohio's early childhood policies and practices.
