New York faces enormous challenges. Today, our urban centers and rural communities are facing unparalleled challenges,and as financial inequality increases and the number of children in poverty grows, more and more families are unable to overcome the risk factors that perpetuate multi-generational poverty.

In the midst of these financial and familial struggles, too often our schools are unable to meet the challenge of preparing children for
success in a global economy. More and more children are arriving at school with severe emotional distress and already significantly
behind many of their peers.  There are not enough Head Start slots for children who need them and parents who want them. 

Your investment helps us to advocate on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of children in New York that need access to Head Start and Early Head Start programs.  Help a child have a brighter, healthier future, invest in New York’s Head Start Association today.

For more information about investing in the early education of young children and helping young children have access to necessary supports and services, please contact info@nyheadstartassociation.org

We are a 501(c)3 charitable organization and your donation is tax deductible.

    Studies have shown that Head Start children experience increased achievement test scores, decreased grade repetition and special education needs, and increased graduation rates
