Grandparent’s Council Introduction and Advocacy 101

The Grandparent’s Council Intro/ Advocacy 101 workshop gives an overview of the origin and need for grandparent advocacy in our region. Participants will receive an overview of the ELPA campaigns, how ECE programs are impacted by the budget process and ways professionals and families can use their experience and knowledge to advocate. Participants should leave with foundational knowledge of the ELPA campaigns, and various advocacy actions they participate in or lead, and guidance on how to complete the mandated reporter training.
