What You Can Do...

Your Time:
Agenda for Children has volunteer and internship opportunities for people in the New Orleans area. There are many opportunities to provide meaningful service while learning about policies and practices related to children and families. Interns and volunteers also find that the work environment at Agenda for Children includes daily experiences in team work, contact with a variety of constituencies and communities, and orientation to the elements and impact of public policy. We are looking for individuals who can commit a specific block of time to a given project, and we are flexible about what the block of time might be. Successful internship experiences in the past have typically involved 2 or 3 days a week for a semester.

 Your Voice:
Become informed and involved. There is always a need for advocates willing to learn more about the issues and spread the word, write letters and make phone calls on children's behalf.

For our efforts to be successful, we need you to be an active partner! Progress in Congress and in the state legislature depends greatly on state and local district-level action across the country. It is essential that your senators, representatives, and members of Congress hear from you, your colleagues, community leaders, and others about the importance of quality, accessible, affordable child care and early education.
