The third session of our ECE Advocacy Training Series, held on November 9, brought together 86 community members and early childhood educators eager to deepen their understanding of advocacy and data storytelling. Guided by ECE ambassadors and Milwaukee Succeeds staff, participants explored ways to build impactful messages, using data to elevate their personal stories and drive meaningful change.

On Saturday, October 12, our Early Childhood Education (ECE) Advocacy Training Series continued with its second session, bringing together 48 passionate early educators and community members. The series aims to empower participants with the advocacy and community organizing skills necessary to drive change in Milwaukee - particularly when it comes to increasing investment in ECE.

Milwaukee Succeeds is helping parents and early educators turn their passion into action. On September 14, the organization launched its new Early Childhood Education Advocacy Training Series, a six-part course aimed at equipping educators and community members with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively advocate for change.

Last year, three tenacious members of the MKE ECE Coalition banded together to create a series of mental health trainings specifically for Spanish-speaking providers. Following the clear success of the program, it was expanded to include a train-the-trainer model, broadening the scope to include even more educators.

By developing a mental health curriculum specifically designed for Milwaukee’s Spanish-speaking community, three ECE Coalition members prioritized the unique needs and experiences of this often-overlooked population.
