Prenatal-to-Three Capacity-Building Hub

With the BUILD Initiative housing and managing it, the Prenatal-to-Three Capacity-Building Hub supports early childhood leaders, advocates, policymakers, and practitioners from inside and outside state and local governments, and provides consultation, support services, and opportunities for peer exchange. BUILD, and many partner organizations, are helping states and communities create and strengthen prenatal-to-three policies and programs, address racial disparities, and support historically (and currently) marginalized communities—and then sharing what works.

The Hub is progressively growing its national efforts to increase the knowledge of all state and community leaders and coalitions by sharing promising strategies and resources that others can adopt or adapt to improve maternal health, birth outcomes, and infant/toddler well-being.

Our Work: Hub Supports

The Prenatal-to-Three Capacity-Building Hub offers support and resources  to state and community leaders working on prenatal-to-three efforts. For example:

• Learning Activities: The Hub organizes and hosts learning opportunities (webinars, Communities of Practice, in-person and virtual meetings) for state and community leaders.
  • The Hub Communities of Practice (CoP) focus on shared learning, application, and reflection with other prenatal-to-three leaders. The conversations and session topics are responsive to participants’ interests and needs. The Hub is currently hosting Systems in Sync: A Learning Community Helps State Leaders Align Systems to Address Family Homelessness.
• PN-3 XChange: The PN-3 XChange is a free, national online community where people doing the hard work of prenatal-to-three systems come together. Powered by the BUILD Initiative’s two decades of early childhood expertise, it’s built specifically for state and community leaders, practitioners, advocates, funders, researchers, and family-centered leaders advancing outcomes for infants, toddlers, and families. Connect with counterparts across the country, exchange hard-won strategies, get real answers from peers, and stay current on field developments — all in one place. Explore webinars, peer learning sessions, and convenings, or go deeper through private learning communities focused on cross-sector alignment.
• Newsletter: BUILD’S monthly newsletter includes PN-3 resources and tools, learning opportunities geared to a national audience, and career opportunities.
