WATCH WEBINAR

We launched an engaging and transformative mini-series focused on the power of collaboration in shaping policies and programs that impact children and families. Parents, educators, community leaders, researchers, and advocacy leaders from across Wisconsin began sharing their stories about supporting systems change in early care and education. In this session, we discussed Wisconsin's history, identified who was absent from the conversation, and explored why their involvement is crucial.

In the upcoming sessions, participants will learn about and receive resources on forming a parent/caregiver cabinet, using educator data and stories to improve policies, developing and implementing advocacy tools, and the lessons learned throughout this process. Participants will hear directly from those involved in driving sustainable and equity-focused systems change for Wisconsin’s children and families.
