Zaentz Fellowship Announcement

The Zaentz Community Fellowship Program aims to empower and support fellows in using community-led research to guide systems change and policy making that benefits young children and families. The work over the one-year fellowship will focus on building capacity for local research and data utilization, enhancing community engagement, and integrating parent voices on solution-focused early childhood planning.

Megan will join Community Fellows from 10 other communities across the country that are part of Stanford’s RAPID Survey Project. RAPID has surveyed more than 22,000 parents of young children and 12,000 child care providers since it launched in April 2020. The goal of RAPID is to better understand and elevate the experiences of families to inform programs and policies that help young children thrive.

The fellowship is generously funded by the Zaentz Charitable Foundation.
