    Good news happens. This week's episode features a conversation about Parent Child Plus with its new CEO, Stephen Cockrell.

    United Way is proud to support the national ParentChild+ program and its local agencies as part of our commitment to early learning. United Way caught up with Cockrell recently when the new leader of the New York-based national organization visited the Seattle area.

    We chatted with him about stepping into his new role, the current state of early learning nationally, and how Washington state and organizations like United Way help prepare our kiddos for formal schooling. We also chatted with Joy Sebe, United Way education strategies director, about our commitment to Parent Child Plus.

    Plus, we will highlight our ongoing Free Tax Preparation Campaign and a local volunteer opportunity.

    Thanks for tuning in!
