Parents and caregivers are often invited to serve on boards, committees, advisory groups, and other leadership teams where their experiences help guide decisions and improve programs.

Many of these opportunities come with little or no training, making it difficult to know where to start or how to make your voice heard. FELT was created to give families the knowledge, confidence, and support to become effective advocates and leaders.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to strengthen your advocacy skills, this program is for you.
