Research has shown a child's early experiences lay the foundation for a lifetime of success in school and beyond. First Things First partners with parents and communities to give children birth through age 5 the tools they need to arrive at kindergarten prepared to succeed. Regional councils made up of com- munity volunteers inform deci- sions about which programs First Things First funds in their area to strengthen families, expand early learning opportunities and increase access to preventative health ser- vices. Volunteering on a regional council is a unique, high-level leadership opportunity to make a positive impact on children and families in our community.
