The First Five Years Fund is committed to providing relevant, compelling, and open-source communications tools to the early learning field. In the tools section you will find:

Communication Templates: This includes media outreach tools—such as a letter to the editor, press statement and an op-ed—as well as advocacy communication templates.

Videos and Images: The First Five Years Fund, along with our partners, have created some powerful and engaging advocacy videos, which you’ll find and be able to share with others in this section.

Backgrounders: We have provided backgrounders on various early learning policy areas. These might be helpful to learn more about the issue or to share in your own community.  

Early Learning Challenge Communications Toolkit: This suite of outreach tools can help you advocate for your state's Challenge application - before and after grants are awarded by the end of 2011.

Simple to download. Easy to adapt. We hope you use and share these tools to help you make the case for investing in early learning in your state.
