Local Leadership Groups
What is a Local Leadership Group?
Local Leadership Groups (LLGs) work within their local/regional communities to support a comprehensive home visiting system that includes an array of services linking pregnant people and young children and their families to supports they may need.
Local Leadership Groups bring together home-visiting programs, parents, and other essential partners to maintain a coordinated system of programs and services that respond to the needs of families.

How Can You Get Involved?
Parents are an important part of the Local Leadership Groups. Parents sharing their experiences are necessary to provide input to how home visiting is working across the state and create change. Are you a parent who is enrolled in a home visiting program? Are you interested in helping to improve the home visiting system in your community?
Parents who are members of the Local Leadership Group:
- Attend Local Leadership Group meetings and are paid for their time.
- Parents are supported to learn about the home visiting system and how to share their voice.
- Parents are invited to join a state Parent Leader Learning Community for other learning opportunities and connection with other parents.
