The Workforce Behind the Workforce: Childcare as a Catalyst for Economic Growth

An Exclusive Event for our Family Foundation Alliance Members

The scarcity of high-quality, accessible childcare is a barrier not only to workforce engagement across every sector of the economy today, but to the healthy development of Orange County’s next generation of leaders and workers. Join us to explore how philanthropy can help address Orange County’s childcare shortage, strengthen workforce participation, and support economic growth. Hear from local experts about the challenges and where funders can make the greatest impact.

Program highlights:

• Keynote: Hear from Tiffany Alva of First 5 Orange County as she explores the broader childcare landscape, the challenges facing families and providers, and the ripple effects across our workforce and economy.
• Panel Discussion: Iosefa Alofaituli of CIELO and a local childcare provider will share their on-the-ground experience and insights into how philanthropy can make a difference in Orange County.
