The Oregon Legislature Kicks Off on January 21 As the 2025 legislative session begins, OCAS is hard at work preparing materials for Oregon’s Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) to help engage our leaders in prioritizing the safety and well-being of children. In February, we’ll be hosting our statewide membership meeting where CAC Directors from across Oregon will visit their representatives in Salem to advocate for kids—alongside the dedicated staff and volunteers of OCAS. This is a crucial opportunity to ensure that the voices of children and families are heard at the state level. Together, we can make a lasting impact on policy decisions that shape the future of child advocacy in Oregon. #OregonLegislature #ChildAdvocacy #OCAS #CAC #AdvocacyInAction #ProtectKids #ChildSafety #OregonPolitics #CommunityAction?

I empower people and help schools reach their full potential. Director of Early Education, Consultant, Trainer, Speaker, Author at Penn Consulting, Training, and Publishing
It is amazing to see so many early educators advocating for the expansion of Child Care Block grant funding. Less than 20% of eligible families utilize childcare subsidies. It has been a joy to write and obtain Head Start grants for schools and provide professional development for the teams that serve these children. #earlychildhood development #Braindevelopment #holisticdevlopment #communitytransformation #ChildDevelopmentAssociate #Directorcredentialing #PennConsulting
Exciting news from Capitol Hill! Head Start leaders from across the country made a powerful statement on Wednesday afternoon, visiting over 220 members of Congress to champion the critical role and impact of Head Start programs on children, families, their local communities, and the country. Their advocacy emphasizes the importance of continued support and funding to ensure every child has access to quality early education. Let's stand together to support their mission and help make a difference in the lives of children and families across the nation! #HeadStart #Advocacy #EarlyChildhoodEducation #HeadStartAdvantage #earlyheadstart #preschool

Prop 1 Advocacy Alert!!! Please share widely. Last week I attended a fabulous webinar from several Children & Youth Advocacy Organizations and incredible speakers-Lishaun Francis, MPP, Adrienne Shilton, Courtney Armstrong, and Angela Vasquez on Prop 1 implementation with loads of insight and info. One big takeaway is that despite some murmurs of finality there is A LOT in flux and so now is the time to help shape implementation and ask state and county leaders important questions- please see the advocacy toolkit- and share! #mentalhealth #advocacy #youth #children

SEND Advocate based in Berkshire, passionate about empowering families and supporting children and young people with SEND. I specialise in helping families navigate the education system.
?? Raising the Standards in SEND Advocacy ?? The world of SEND advocacy is a lifeline for so many families, yet the standards across the field can vary significantly. As advocates, we have a responsibility to ensure every family feels empowered, heard, and fully supported. At SEND Allies, I'm committed to: ? Delivering clear, accurate, timely and actionable guidance. ? Supporting families with compassion and professionalism. ? Holding myself to a high ethical standard. SEND advocacy isn’t just about navigating systems; it’s about building trust, bringing calm to adversarial situations, giving hope, and achieving meaningful outcomes for children and young people. Together, we can raise the bar and ensure every child gets the support they need to thrive. Let’s set the standard. ??
