Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

When I decide to go to grad school and major in Early Childhood Education,  I did it because I love working with  children and now I want to work for  children. I am so excited to explore areas in education outside the classroom into another form of advocating.  Therefore I have listed community jobs that are appealing to me and their mission and vision for  the community.
