ECCOE is making tangible changes in services to parenting students on campus, creating a bridge between classroom knowledge and employability for ECE students, and providing quality care to community children in our bilingual lab school (Kids Campus)

Support in balancing

Support in balancing high- and low-level priorities for venture AND between venture and "real job"

YMCA thrives in community building

Community fuels me; it's special to get to be in space with others that are doing this work.

Funding

Storytelling

2024-01-24 18:22:18 UTC

Need to prioritize (getting better at) storytelling since that's probably more effective than many of the must-do's on my to-do list!

Getting the word out, sustainable funding

2024-01-24 18:22:37 UTC

My program and the student parent programs are fairly young, so community players are hesitant to participate. And we are looking at ways to prolong our work beyond our current grant cycles.

2024-01-24 18:22:40 UTC

budget

2024-01-24 18:22:45 UTC

creating opportunities to integrate student, parent and community voice into our planning

Competing with other funding priorities at the state level

Strengthening fathers with skills and tools to engage early in their children lives

2024-01-24 18:22:59 UTC

Team!

2024-01-24 18:23:00 UTC

We've got a truly fantastic team.

Coaching, opportunities to fundraise, more general support grants.

2024-01-24 18:23:28 UTC

2024-01-24 18:23:31 UTC

collaborating with other organizations to work as a team for the same community goal

2024-01-24 18:23:31 UTC

Post COVID; inequity; lack of strong statewide planning and analysis of data

Connections with organizations in the ECE advocacy space.

2024-01-24 18:23:40 UTC

Connections to networking events that can lead to fundraising.

tactical operational expertise, national connections toward growth

more conversations with tribal leaders, elders and youth on tribal lands.

2024-01-24 18:24:16 UTC

Connecting to other funders who understand the nuances around the work and want to be partners with their grantees

Philanthropic funders to sponsor users

2024-01-24 18:24:32 UTC

(to implicitly support dev't while boosting usage to show we DO meet a need)

Lack of research on black and brown father's involvement in early childhood education

2024-01-24 18:25:48 UTC

2024-01-24 18:25:57 UTC

I think this depends on which program in ECCOE is being talked about. APRENDE is looking to expand and work with other community colleges, home visiting programs, and family child care providers. The student parent programs are looking to support fathers and other family structures/older children.

Building network in meaningful/genuine way

2024-01-24 18:25:59 UTC

I'm fine "reaching out" -- I'm not great at deep connections and keeping connections alive. (The introvert in me is strong...)
