Childcare - It's A Crisis For Every Upper Valley Business
Thursday Jan 20, 2022
Thursday, January 20, 2022 at 1:30pm Virtual via Zoom link:
In an effort to address the childcare crisis in the Upper Valley, there are opportunities for businesses and their employees to join workgroups that are forming as a result of the Childcare Symposium held in November. Business voices and expertise, as well as employees' voices as parents, are critically important to these workgroups and to tackling this crisis effectively. Please participate and encourage colleagues to participate. There is a budget for a limited number of stipends for parents to participate; anyone in need of a stipend should contact sjackson@vitalcommunities.org for details.
