FAMILIES
CENTER OPPORTUNITIES
You belong here! Serve in a way that works for you.
Southern Oregon Head Start offers all parents and caregivers many different opportunities to be engaged in their child’s potential. Connecting with your center means you are a key part of an action plan that is focused on strengthening your child’s education and the family-school partnership.
However you choose to participate is an investment in your child. Support your child’s teachers and center, advocate on the issues impacting your child, affect change at a local and state level, and help build a stronger, more diverse and inclusive school community.
BE A VOICE FOR YOUR CHILD AND CENTER
We depend on the input of parents and caregivers in order to make agency and center decisions that will help children and families thrive. Please consider joining the Policy Council!

DEVELOP YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS – AND RESUME
Volunteering or filling a leadership position allows you to contribute your skills and knowledge in a way that benefits your child, your center, and your community. You will make a huge impact while gaining leadership skills, and supplementing your resume experience! Learn more about our Family Internship program.
ESTABLISH CONNECTIONS
Parenting is a challenging job, but having support can help! Through participating in center events, you build connections with parents and caregivers who are also navigating the adventure that is raising a preschooler.
“When I heard that my son wanted to be a dad like me when he grew up, I realized
I wanted to do better for him – to get involved and be more active.”
