Building equitable early childhood experiences

Through the support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Power of Families is a grant-funded project of the Center for Community School Strategies (formerly TACSI). As families and schools advocate and lead together, the Power of Families Project serves as a catalyst for stronger family representation within school administrative decision making, as well as equitable resources and systems that promote the success of all children.
