We had the absolute honor of launching our first "Trusted Messenger" training today with the Lycoming County Youth Development Task Force! 40 student ambassadors from across Lycoming County were equipped with early learning messages to share with their families, friends, and in common spaces across the community. We want to thank Too Small to Fail for the early learning grant we received to launch an early learning initiative across our service areas. Training Trusted Messengers is just the beginning! Stay tuned for MORE exciting details to be revealed on our "Talking is Teaching in North Central PA" early literacy project! It is going to be EPIC! ?? #UnitedIsTheWay
