Policy Pathways Action Lab
COAEYC & ECCLA invite you to our Policy Pathways Action Lab, a free quarterly series where learning meets doing.
Together, we’ll move from "what's happening" to "what we can do about it?" Each session, we learn about a key issue and then roll up our sleeves in a strategic working session. With facilitator guidance, you'll collaborate with peers on an action item.
Walk away with a new skill and a concrete step taken for Colorado's early childhood community.
