The person I elected is Doris Young, she is a volunteer for Child Space Cooperative Development, Inc. Doris
works with childcare providers by keeping the update on public policy in the
state of Pennsylvania. Also, she meets with childcare providers to discuss
concern issues that they are having dealing with on a daily basis. She also
post training on her Facebook page and emails the childcare provides.
Identify
how you feel this person's work has positively impacted others.
I feel that a person’s work
is vital for childcare providers. Knowing that she giving them information that
they need to provide for the children and families.
Describe what you feel is a vital "take-away" message
relative to this work in terms of your own volunteer efforts and advocacy work
in fostering the well-being of children and families.
I really do not have that
much volunteer experience with advocacy work. At the present, I am learning
more by taking this class. I believe that advocacy work is important for
children and families and the work that Doris Young is doing is vital for
families with young children.
Raejean,
ReplyDeleteI agree that this class is preparing us for the advocacy career in early childhood education. With the new ideas, and implementing public policy to early childhood education you and I will be well prepared to become the Doris Young in our communities.
Thanks,

This lady that you speak of must be commended for her great work in the field. This is something that you do not see so often someone there willing to share information on policies that affect providers. I know a plethora of providers who know the developmental side of providing care, but some are truly versed in policy and laws and how they affect their business. Therefore having someone like her doing this would be of huge benefit and the factor of she does not charge to share the information and knowledge she has acquired. We will all be able to gain advocacy skills and be able to do the same thing that Ms. Doris is doing of the community and profession as a whole.
