Community Engagement

Strive is made up of several committees and working groups. In order to encompass the voices and perspectives of all early years professionals in the community.  We invite you to join the conversation!

Strive Advisory Committee

Strive is a responsive, community driven organization with an Advisory Committee that is tasked with ensuring the strategies and tactics are put into action. Members of the Advisory Committee represent the diversity and complexity of the Child Care and Early Years sector. Strive leverages administrative support from a backbone organization; Childreach, and takes all organizational initiatives to the membership for endorsement.
