Interested in Becoming a Board Member?

The Early Learning Coalition of Pasco and Hernando Counties, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, is soliciting applications from those interested in filling vacancies on its Board. These are volunteer positions in an exciting new endeavor, which will be responsible for the preparation of children, from 0-6 years of age, for entry into both Pasco and Hernando County schools. Except for the representative of a Day Care Provider (a mandate in the covering legislation), an applicant CANNOT be employed by a direct service provider to pre-school children.

If you are a parent, a businessperson, a professional in areas other than child care and/or a retiree, here is your challenge and opportunity to contribute to planning and implementing programs to benefit these youngsters. Applicants must be residents of and/or work in either Pasco and/or Hernando County.

Board meetings are held monthly and all members are covered by Florida's Sunshine Law. Additionally, a number of subcommittees are formed as they are needed. The greater the variety of the Board's membership, the more productive its work will be.

The Board Member Application (4.8M) is available in Adobe PDF format. For more information, call (866) 797-9444, Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
