The Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas makes deliberate efforts to promote, participate in, and support activities with various community organizations helping children and their families. However, advocacy efforts for early education issues are not tackled by any single agency or organization.
Anyone can become an advocate for local, state, and federal issues impacting children – and it is not as intimidating as it sounds! Sparking a conversation can raise awareness about the importance of early care and education. It can be as simple as talking to friends, family, neighbors and others in your community, talking about the importance of early childhood education and getting the average citizen (not just politicians) to understand how early learning impacts the community.
