Every month, members meet to discuss news, events, projects, and current issues relating to middle years children. Members receive up-to-date information through the MCMCT website and Coalition meetings. Through these resources, members have the opportunity to network with other social service staff, participate in public awareness initiatives, access affordable workshops/trainings and participate in focused discussions based on individual interests and skills. To become a member, simply RSVP to attend our monthly meeting by emailing middlechildhoodmatters@gmail.com.

Roles and Responsibilities of Members
