Advocap Wins Head Start Grant

 

Congressman Tom Petri reports that Advocap, Inc. of Fond du Lac, a non-profit community action agency, has been awarded a $134,498 grant by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  The funds will be used to train and retain qualified staff associated with the Head Start program run by the agency. 

Head Start is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families.

"Educational requirements for Head Start teachers were raised in 2007, and we need to help valued staffers to obtain the necessary training and credentials.  Head Start plays an important role in our community, and we want to ensure its continued success," said Petri.
