State and Local Advocacy Resources

There are several entities critical to a constructive community dialogue on the role that their funding streams and systems are playing or can play in developing dropout prevention and recovery efforts, including state and local workforce boards, state adult education offices, state children's cabinets and councils, P-20 Councils, and state/local commissions on black males.  The following is contact information for these resources in your state:
