Early Years

The Early Year’s Working Group focuses on family well-being, from conception to early adulthood, with all kinds of parents and all kinds of families.

Our interest is in promoting not only the health and happiness of today’s children and young people but in building for them a future that is safe, kind, and caring.

“If we don’t stand up for children, then we don’t stand for much.”

– Marian Wright Edelman
