Developing diversity, equity and inclusion competencies to make institution-level changes
Increasing Vermont’s ability to examine the system of services with an equity lens through the monitoring and integration of early childhood data
Utilizing continuous quality improvement with a child-centered and equity focused lens to evaluate progress and promote accountability in Vermont’s early childhood system
Using the Vermont Early Childhood Fund (VECF) to be accessible and disrupt traditional funder-grantee power dynamics. The fund awards $100K to creatively address community needs to improve the lives of children and families.
