October Is Head Start Awareness Month. Will You Speak Up for Kids?

When you sign the pledge to protect Head Start, you’re joining a movement to help kids learn, grow and thrive.

But that’s just the first step. Here’s how you can make even more change for children:

• Be the first to know when crisis hits rural communities. You’ll get urgent updates on how our teams are supporting families – and how you can help them recover.
• Connect with educators and advocates. Hear directly from our colleagues working to expand early learning and end child poverty in the U.S.
• Spread the word. Share inspiring stories, real-time updates and more with friends and family to raise awareness.

Help us fight for kids’ futures.

Sign the Pledge to Protect Kids’ Futures

90% of a child’s brain develops by age 5.

Early education is a game changer. But in rural America, challenges like poverty, food deserts and childcare shortages take that opportunity away from thousands of kids.

That’s why we’re speaking out in honor of Head Start Awareness Month.

Head Start is a lifeline for kids and families nationwide – providing early learning, nutritious meals, health care, and emotional support. It improves a child’s chance of thriving in school, graduating and breaking the cycle of poverty.

Let’s give every child a chance to succeed. Sign our pledge to support Head Start!
