We are just three weeks away from our Annual Public Policy Forum! Don’t just take it from us, hear it from two of our very own MSHS parents — it’s going to be an incredible experience.

Register now: https://nafhsa.org/2026-public-policy-forum/ 🔗✨

Join us this June 2026 as we come together to bring the voices of our MSHS families to the halls of Congress.

Our Public Policy Forum is an opportunity for Migrant and Seasonal Head Start members to stay informed on the latest policy issues impacting our communities and to feel empowered to make their voices heard. We truly believe our strongest advocates are our MSHS parents, staff, and directors.
