June 26, 2025 – The Center for the Study of Social Policy published a guide that outlines steps that parents can take as partners, advocates, and leaders to strengthen early childhood systems and improve outcomes for young children from the prenatal stage to age eight. The Guide encourages parents to reflect on their own leadership and advocacy goals. It helps parents find pathways and resources for how to engage and assess which opportunities are the best fit for them. While the focus of this Guide is early childhood systems, the insights are relevant for parents interested in other issues.
There is a version targeting parents and another version tailored for organizations that engage parents and families.
