MDC is launching the North Carolina Leading from Home: Investing in HBCC Provider Leaders initiative to support existing home-based child providers or caregivers in building their current provider networks and growing their influence. MDC is seeking family child care providers, both licensed and licensed exempt, as well as Family, Friend and Neighbor (FFN) providers who currently have a provider network. MDC will provide monthly stipends for selected provider and caregiver leaders. MDC will also match provider leaders with mentors who will provide technical assistance to assist in goal setting and building capacity around policy strategy, strategic communication and engagement.
We encourage both licensed family child care (FCC) providers and Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) caregivers to apply. Information and applications are available in English and Spanish. Applications will be open until June 30th.
To learn more, visit the MDC website or register for the upcoming webinar on June 8th, 2023 at 12PM EST to participate in a live Q&A.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact MDC at llassiter@mdcinc.org.
