Celebrating County Leadership in PN-3: Case Studies from the PN-3 County Leaders Academy
Across the country, prenatal-to-three (PN-3) county champions are advocating for infants and toddlers, ensuring that they are centered in all policy discussions and working to bring together families, service providers and stakeholders from across sectors to create a robust, equity-driven PN-3 vision for their communities.
NACoRF’s new resource, Celebrating County Leadership in PN-3, showcases how counties are centering young children in their COVID-19 recovery efforts and making investments that will improve outcomes for our communities now and down the line.
