Our Community Advocates, who expand and strengthen our outreach, have been very busy engaging with residents at summer events including the Norwalk Community Health Center Farmer’s Market, every Wednesday. They are keeping families supported and connected by sharing Early Childhood Development information and resources.

Our team has grown substantially over the years. It is the result of lifting up community leaders from our strategic engagement efforts. We honor them on our website for their contribution to our systems change work.

Thank you Community Advocates!
