Colorado Association for the Education of Young Children

There's still time to register before tonight's Policy Pathways Action Lab!

The primary elections are wrapping up, and major matchups for November's general election are almost locked in. What do we do now?

Lawmakers may talk about supporting families and early childhood on the campaign trail, but they rarely understand the day-to-day reality of running a program or trying to survive on an early childhood teacher's wage. Together, we can change that.

Next Wednesday, July 8, we are thrilled to be joined by our colleagues at Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) to share their guidance & help us build skills around candidate engagement and building relationships with legislators.

RSVP for free here: https://www.coloradoaeyc.org/events-1/policy-pathways-action-lab-2026-07-08-18-30

The Policy Pathways Action Lab is a free quarterly series designed to turn "what's happening" into "what we can do about it." Each session blends learning with a guided, collaborative working lab. Connect with peers, gain practical skills, and leave with a concrete action item. Hosted in partnership by COAEYC and Early Childhood Council Leadership Alliance.
