Happy Pride Month from GCE-US!

This month — and every month — we reaffirm our commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, including all children, youth, and educators around the word! The National Education Association provides educators with a toolkit to support LGBTQ+ students. We invite all to download the resources here. 

Are you looking for a meaningful gift, such as for Father's Day, birthdays, or graduations? All are invited to donate, including an easy option to give contributions in honor of loved ones to support children, youth & educators around the world! 

Upcoming Opportunities

You're invited to join us for the Inclusive Education & Early Childhood Community of Practice Meeting on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at 9:00 - 10:30 am ET. We are delighted to hear from Humanity and Inclusion, Building Tomorrow, and more on inclusive education teacher training. 

Highlights

Thank you for joining the Inclusive Education and Early Childhood Community of Practice Meeting!

On May 13, 2022, GCE-US convened a community of practice meeting that included discussions on USAID's commitment to disability inclusion and the current process of developing an updated USAID Disability Policy. New GCE-US coalition members, EYElliance and Association d'Aide à l'Education de l'Enfant Handicapé (AAEEH), shared their organizations' critical work to advance quality, inclusive education for all children and youth.

GCE-US extends a very special thank you to all speakers at this meeting: 

• Katherine Guernsey, Disability Rights Coordinator, USAID
• Liz Smith, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Director, EYElliance
• Ernestine NGO MELHA, Founder & Executive Director, Association d'Aide à l'Education de l'Enfant Handicapé (AAEEH)
