Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

Head Start is one of the most powerful programs in our nation’s history. Tell Congress: Protect Head Start so every child can learn, grow and thrive!

John, 

Since its founding in 1965, Head Start has given 38 million children a chance to thrive.   

Head Start helps parents become their child’s first and best teacher, equipping them with essential parenting skills to encourage curiosity and actively nurture kids’ development. 

Just ask Hafeezah, SCAN’s South Carolina State Manager. Curious and bold, her 4-year-old son was a firecracker who struggled in group settings – until their family found Head Start.  

“The teachers welcomed us with open arms, patience, encouragement and understanding,” Hafeezah says. “Through hands-on activities, playful learning and songs… I watched my son blossom.”  

This week, our volunteer leaders are gathering in Washington D.C. for our 2025 National Leader Training – an opportunity to connect with fellow leaders, take their voices all the way to Capitol Hill and tell lawmakers that Head Start matters. 

Will you help our volunteer leaders advocate for Head Start? Tell your members of Congress: Head Start is essential. Step up to protect its future! 

John, Head Start is a lifeline for working families, breaking the cycle of poverty and expanding access to child care.  

Early learning is the very first issue SCAN advocated for – and our sister organization, Save the Children, runs Head Start programs across rural America.   

We're proud to fight for this essential program alongside advocates like you.  

Let’s join our volunteer leaders by sending thousands of messages and making our voices heard through the halls of Congress this week!

Families are counting on lawmakers' support, John.

Let’s ensure every child has a chance to learn, grow and thrive.  

Thanks for being a Head Start champion,   

Christy Gleason
