Family Coalition

What’s In It For You?

Families who choose to attend meetings, share their vision, and give their time are eligible to receive a stipend and entered into quarterly drawing. Childcare is often provided, making it easier for families to attend. By participating in the early childhood system, families also have opportunities to establish connections with other parents of young children throughout Sanilac County. Families can voice their thoughts and expand their knowledge of family-friendly activities available in the community.

• Be the voice of Sanilac families in the local early childhood community and to those who shape the policies.
