Interested in building leadership skills, learning about governance, and supporting early education? Head Start is looking for community members to join our Policy Council!
What is Head Start?
Head Start is a free, early education program for low-income households with the goal of supporting children in reaching their full potential. To achieve this, Head Start programs deliver services to children and families in core areas of early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way. The Policy Council is a key piece of our operations, and we would value more community insight and input!
What is Policy Council?
Policy Council is a group of Head Start parents and community members who help lead and make decisions about our program. Members receive, review, and approve/disapprove information regarding:
- program planning
- policies and procedures
- Head Start operations
Policy Council members are ambassadors for Head Start. Your role is not only to attend meetings but also to advocate and tell the story of how our program makes a difference in the lives of children, families, and our community.
Policy Council meets once a month on the 3rd Monday of every month from 6-8pm. Dinner and childcare are provided.
If interested, please reach out to Alissa at aweiss@insccap.org.
