Join us in helping ensure this Congress understands, values, and empowers the important role Head Start serves for our nation’s most vulnerable children and families.

NHSA’s Leadership Institutes are always educational and impactful–and the 2024 Winter Leadership Institute promises more of the same! You won’t miss the opportunity to hear from national political figures, thought leaders, and early childhood experts on what all this change means for Head Start.

Right now, key decision-makers in our nation’s capital are making difficult spending decisions, with differing priorities competing for a limited pool of money. These decisions will have a profound impact on Head Start’s work. Members of Congress and their staff must hear firsthand how important Head Start is to the communities they serve.

Highlights Include:

• Meetings with members of Congress
• Advocacy training
• Engaging in discussions on how Head Start programs are leading in their communities
• Professional development opportunities
• Educational sessions on policy issues of critical importance to Head Start
• Breakfast for Head Start on Capitol Hill

Explore meaningful policies, meet with lawmakers, and advocate for Head Start. The 2024 Winter Leadership Institute will occur in Crystal City, Virginia, from January 22-25, 2024.
