Advocacy Resources

Nebraska AEYC is the state affiliate of NAEYC, a leading voice for high-quality early childhood education supported by a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession. Along with Americans of all geographic, political and demographic backgrounds, we are coming together to demand investments in high-quality early childhood education, and early childhood educators, because we know that will make America brighter, stronger, and more competitive.

First Five Nebraska is an organization committed to increasing access to high quality early environments and learning experiences for Nebraska’s children between the ages of 0 and 5. First Five works with policymakers, educators, early childhood professionals, elected officials and business leaders in coordinated, long-term vision for early childhood in Nebraska.

Whether you have tons of advocacy experience, or none at all, NAEYC's Public Policy Forum is THE place for you to sharpen your skills and help us move a nonpartisan agenda in support of young children and the early childhood education profession!
