Kansas Head Start Association hasn't added a story.
Parents are a child's first teacher. They also are a child's best advocate.
Each spring, KHSA takes Kansas parents to Washington, D.C. to
meet with the Kansas members of Congress on Capitol Hill. In these
offices, parents tell their stories of how Head Start and early
childhood supports and services have made a difference for their
families. Their goal? To bring the faces of real children and
families—their children and families—into focus for the
people making important decisions about these supports and services.
In the process they learn to become powerful advocates; powerful voices.
Their voices don't go quiet after they leave Washington.
We asked the parents who participated in this experience in
past years what advocacy means to them. They said that advocacy is:
- A voice for something you believe in and are passionate about.
- Giving a voice to someone who cannot speak loud enough on their own to be heard
The Parent Leadership Project equips parents with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to raise their voices for their children and for all children in Kansas.
This giving season, KHSA is launching a new campaign to help even more parents raise their voices for the children they believe in.
