DVAEYC sponsors student chapters for early childhood education students on many local campuses.  By participating in a DVAEYC chapter, students are provided with opportunities to work directly with local leaders -- forming valuable professional relationships, developing leadership skills and enhancing their educational experience.

You are making a terrific contribution by becoming (or continuing to be) an early childhood professional – by becoming involved in advocacy you have a chance to make an even greater impact!  Click here and find out how you can make a difference!
