Women have the potential to significantly change their own economic status, as well as that of the communities in which they live. Join Educational First Steps Thursday, September 29th from 12 pm-1:30 pm at the Amon Carter Center at Lena Pope (3200 Sanguinet St., Fort Worth, TX 76107) for a discussion exploring the various roles quality early education plays in lifting women, children and families out of poverty.
We will touch on the programs of Educational First Steps: training and mentoring that helps professionalize the field of early education for women in poverty; the Bridge Fund, providing critical support for women building better futures for themselves and their families; Enrollment Services stabilizing small businesses predominately operated by women.
We hope you will join us for this important conversation about education, recognizing the power of women’s economic contributions in creating a healthy economy and building programs and networks that support their promise. Lunch will be provided, please RSVP to Coral Bell at cbell@educationalfirststeps.org by September 23rd.
