Drake University Head Start is currently recruiting three (3) Community Representatives to serve on the Head Start Policy Council. The Community Representative positions will begin, October 2011.
Policy Council is a decision-making group that includes parents of currently enrolled Head Start and Early Head Start children and Community Representatives. Head Start Policy Councils provide an opportunity for parents and members of the community to influence program outcomes and activities, as well as provide leadership to strengthen the communities we serve.
The Policy Council meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Highland Park Christian Church, 4260 NW 6th Drive, Des Moines. A light dinner is served during the meeting.
This is an opportunity to participate as a community partner in helping to provide mentoring and support to families in the Head Start program.
