The ECC includes more than 50 state and national organizations that work to advocate for young children and families. Children’s Institute serves as a coordinating member of the coalition and facilitates monthly meetings.

Our partnership has made a difference: the historic passage of the Student Success Act and the newly created Early Learning Account demonstrate Oregon’s commitment to improving the early care and education of young children and their families.

Now, we must work closely to ensure that Oregon holds fast to those commitments through the ongoing health and economic challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We invite you to join us, learn more about our collective goals, share our message with your networks, and work with us to remind lawmakers why early childhood matters!
