LeadEarly Birmingham Objective
When we invest in children and families, everyone wins. To that end, the City of Birmingham is partnering with Casey Family Programs to host a first of its kind cohort, Lead Early Birmingham.
This cohort will galvanize a diverse group of interested local leaders as champions for families and children ages birth through five in Birmingham. This seven-month learning experience will equip participants with knowledge of best practices and local initiatives and will compel individuals to participate in the work even after this cohort ends.
