The Start Strong PA and Pre-K for PA Campaigns are seeking out early childhood professionals to apply to participate as a lead advocate in their region by serving on the first statewide Start Strong PA and Pre-K for PA Provider Advisory Board.

About the Provider Advisory Board

The advisory board will be composed of 30 early childhood professionals from across the state, working in diverse roles in all setting types. Participants will have:

• an opportunity to elevate the voices of early childhood professionals by providing the field’s professionals with a consistent platform for policy updates and advocacy opportunities;

• a space to identify the diverse needs of the early childhood workforce through a consistent feedback loop of what they are experiencing in the field;

• free access to consistent advocacy related professional development, leadership development, and growth opportunities;

• a chance to create equity driven strategies and connect practice to inform policy recommendations that support the needs of all providers, children, and families in Pennsylvania;

• and opportunities to strengthen connections with community partners.

The advisory board will meet virtually once a month beginning in April 2022. All participants will be compensated for their time.

Apply

The application period will be from March 1 to March 28, 2022. Providers can apply online. Applicants will be notified of their application status via email the first week of April.
