Fellowship Description
Amanda will be working at the MA Executive Office of Administration and Finance. Amanda will support the Inter-agency Early Education and Child Care Task Force, established by Executive Order 625. At the Governor’s direction, this task force will bring to bear the full scope of the executive branch to ensure that Massachusetts leads the nation in early education and care access, affordability, equity, and quality. The Task Force will capitalize on what we each know best while leveraging collaboration to achieve greater impact. By December of this year, the Task Force will have engaged our many stakeholders and worked together to develop an innovative set of recommendations to propose to the Governor. The internship will involve staffing monthly task force meetings as well as supporting the ongoing work of three subgroups; access & technology improvement, capacity and affordability, and physical space.
