Dollar Per Child!


Why is Dollar per Child so Important? Dollar per child is to pay for advocacy in the political arena. Power structures in Washington are constantly changing, whether in Congress or with the new Administration. In the past year, hundreds of new bureaucrats have come to Washington, many with the power to impact Head Start programs across the country. Region 8 Head Start Association supports NHSA to ensure that they continue to unleash external experts to influence policymakers and their staffs.
