Getting Involved in our Project Perhaps you would like to join our effort to help children, parents and families. We do good work, and we could use your help! Here are some ways you could help: 1. Excite others about the Parenting Newsletter Project. Perhaps you can help get the parenting newsletters used in your community. We have helped 80 different distribution systems get started in our own state; write or e-mail us if you'd like to hear more about how others have distributed the newsletter.

Volunteer to get involved with an ongoing newsletter project in your community. Most Wisconsin counties are already using the parenting newsletters and at least 15 other states have communities that are distributing the newsletters. Many service organizations (such as Kiwanis) and local hospitals that are involved with the printing and distribution of the newsletters could use your help.   3. Invest in a part of this project that you feel strongly about. Perhaps there is a particular issue that you are concerned about: child abuse prevention; or encouragement of breast feeding; or teaching parents how to set limits and guide their children effectively; or developing early literacy and thinking skills. One family who received the "Parenting the First Year" series donated $10,000 to help us produce a new series for the prenatal months (currently in development). Other families and organizations have contributed money to help us expand distribution to more families. Write or email us and we can discuss which part of the overall project can be "yours," and what we can accomplish with your help. Additional funding can make a real difference in both the development of new materials and in the number of families receiving the parenting newsletters. For you, this project may provide a way to invest in helping create the kind of future you believe in. (We can even provide assistance in maximizing the tax advantages of your giving.)
