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.
Applications for the 2024-2025 LeadEarly Birmingham Cohort have closed!
