Geaux Far Louisiana | Meet the Coalition: Cheruba Chavez

Geaux Far Louisiana is unique in that 55% of the steering committee is made up of parents or early childhood education and health providers. What makes Geaux Far Louisiana effective is that parents are just as much partners as the members who work in early childhood education.

Cheruba Chavez is a parent who brings her voice to the steering committee: “I think a lot of times when committees like this form, it’s very theoretical and intellectual and in your head, but we’ve had some very concrete conversations about very specific actions, for all of the stakeholders in early childhood education.”
