What is the Foundation First Family Council?
The Foundation First Family Council gives families a chance to share their ideas and help shape early childhood decisions that matter to them. Families can connect with others in the region, speak up about their needs and concerns, and learn about helpful community resources.
Through monthly virtual meetings, families can connect with each other and have their voices heard and valued!
