The United States Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has awarded Action Pathways Inc. (API) a new five-year Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) grant for the Cumberland County area.
The grant will provide HS/EHS services encompassing early learning and development, health, and family well-being to hundreds of pre-school children, infants and toddlers.
“Our amazing staff has worked so hard to secure this funding so that we can continue and expand our early education programs,” said API CEO Lonnie Ballard Jr. “It’s been well proven that when a child’s education begins in their early years, the positive effects on their well-being and social-emotional health will be immeasurable. We look forward to continuing Action Pathways’ goal of serving the most vulnerable members of our community, starting, most importantly, with our children.”
Applications to apply for available slots into the HS/EHS program are available online at https://actionpathways.ngo/our-programs/head-start/how-to-apply/. For additional information regarding enrollment, please call 910-485-9800.
