Have a Heart for Kids Day 2024

About the event

It's that time again! On February 15, we will join with advocates from across the state to learn from each other, strengthen our community and create a powerful voice for children and families. 

This year, Have a Heart for Kids Day will be a collaborative effort between The Washington State Association of Head Start and ECEAP, Children’s Alliance, Save the Children Action Network, Washington Family Engagement, Social Venture Partners, and Families of Color Seattle.

This event will take place virtually and in-person in Olympia, Washington. Advocacy trainings begin at 8:00 AM, with 9:00 and 10:00 AM options for later arrivals.

Our program includes:

• Optional online pre-event trainings on issues affecting children in Washington

• Day-of advocacy trainings

• Lunch provided for in-person attendees

• Opportunities to visit with your legislators

• An afternoon rally on the capitol steps, with featured speakers First Lady Trudi Inslee, Senator Andy Billig, Senator Claire Wilson, Representative Emily Alvarado and Representative Tana Senn

For virtual attendees, the morning trainings and rally at 2:30pm will be online. Virtual attendees have the opportunity to participate in virtual legislative visits.

Please note for in-person attendees: morning trainings will take place about a 10-minute drive away from the state capitol, where legislator meetings and rally will take place.
