Voice of the Voiceless
For the Staten Island Alliance to create meaningful impact for young children across the North Shore, there must be policy changes on a municipal, city, state and national level. Young children and parents need access to educational and health programs that are essential to positive outcomes.
To date, the efforts of the Policy & Advocacy Working Group have sought to:
- Coordinate and align public and private investments with the Alliance’s Policy Agenda
- Advocate for the growth and advancement of the Early Childhood workforce
- Advocate for expanding access to and availability of Early Childhood programming across the North Shore
