Advocacy Workshops

Use your voice. Make a difference.

Every parent and caregiver has experiences that matter — and your story can help shape decisions that affect children, families, and your community.

Futures First invites parents and families to a two-part Advocacy Readiness Workshop series designed to help you build confidence, focus on what matters most to your family, and learn how to share your story in ways that create real impact.

Dinner and child care are provided for in-person workshops.
