Share Your Story

Sharing our stories, whether we are parents, early childhood educators, or community members is one way to make our voices heard. Telling these personal stories is how we can make the issues come to life. When a hardship or inspirational story touches someone and causes them to take action, we know we’ve made a difference!

Meet real Alaskan families who have already shared with us their stories of resilience, child care, and life during the pandemic. Read their stories here.
