Led by Cynthia Yao, the Head Start Leadership Clinics is a four-part, four-month virtual experience designed exclusively for Head Start and Early Head Start leaders. With space for up to 50 participants, each 90-minute session goes beyond traditional training—offering real-time consultation, peer learning, and actionable leadership strategies grounded in today’s realities.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh approach, a practical solution, or simply a moment to connect and reset—these clinics offer what today’s leaders need. Each session, facilitated live by Cynthia Yao, creates space for insight, reflection, and renewed purpose.
Grounded in emerging guidance from HHS/ACF/OHS, recent federal shifts, and real-time concerns or questions from the field, these clinics will provide:
– Insight into new and evolving policy changes and how to lead through them with confidence
– Practical strategies rooted in proven approaches that strengthen Head Start programs
– Tools for organizational alignment—including workforce wellness, strategic planning, and adaptive leadership
– A supportive forum for honest dialogue—where leaders can share challenges and celebrate breakthroughs with peers who truly understand the journey
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
