The Washington Early Childhood Policy Fellowship is a FUTURE fellowship focused on strengthening a pipeline of representative leaders of color in early childhood policy decision-making across Washington state. 

In our effort to build a fellowship that is responsive to the diverse experiences and input of leaders of color across our state, we are hosting PAID virtual focus groups sessions. 

Focus groups are just informal facilitated discussions where we will explore your reactions and thoughts to different parts of our fellowship design. Focus Groups will be relatively small (5 - 8 participants) and will be 90 minutes long. All selected participants will receive a $100 Visa or Target Gift Card for their time and input. 

Please fill out the information below if you would like to be considered as a focus group participant!
We will only use your contact information for limited communication about this fellowship. We will not share your information with any other parties.
