You can make a difference in the lives of children.
As the saying goes, we as a society can either “pay now or pay later.” Research proves investing in children in the early years
will save our community money and resources later. There are many ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
|
Attend First 5 Placer meetings: Your feedback and expertise is welcome and we look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming meetings.
Become a Commissioner or CRC Member: We often have openings on the Commission and CRC. Please see the links to the left to find out more about current recruitments!
Voice your support: Take a stand on policies and legislation that improve the well-being of children when it comes to health, safety and early education. Submit letters to the editor in local newspapers in response to articles about children's health, education and safety.

Contact elected officials: Write or call the governor and state and federal lawmakers to voice your support for legislation that improves the well-being of all children.
