About BAYC Work Groups

The planning and collaboration of BAYC is done by four Work Groups: Parent Supports, Mental and Physical Health, Early Childhood and Education (School Readiness), and Awareness & Advocacy.  To accomplish our mission, Bridgeport’s parents work side-by-side with agencies and organizations and lend their expertise to one or more of the Work Groups. 

If you have experience in marketing or public relations and want to volunteer to work on advancing the work of the collaborative through print materials, public service announcements, or advocacy, please call the BAYC Coordinator at 203-339-6318 or email bayc@unitedwaycfc.org today!
