​

In 2024, we will mark the 50th anniversary of ECFE in Minnesota. As we’ve grown through myriad programs, partnerships, and initiatives, the mission of ECFE has always been to strengthen families and to provide support to families for the healthy growth and development of their children.

Over the year we will reflect on the past 50 years of change and determination and look forward to being at the forefront of providing services, resources, and advocacy for all of you in the work you do serving all of the families throughout the State of Minnesota. 

How can you get involved? Check out one of the three opportunities available right now and keep your eye out for more as the year unfolds.

Ideas Wanted!!

Share your Stories

We all have stories that we've heard or experienced ourselves. ECFE is about those stories and those relationships that have been built. Take a minute or two to share those stories either with a photo or video or write it down in a few words. It's inspiring to hear all the great work that goes on around the state.
