Ecag
Exceptional children's
advocacy group
ECAG works to build a greater understanding of the issues surrounding special education by empowering, supporting, and providing educational opportunities to parents/caregivers for the work of advocacy in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights school district.
Teaching & Learning
role models
Volunteer speakers address 5th grade classes and describe how their education, first jobs, careers, choices and challenges have been relevant to their lives. We hope that children will better understand the relevance of their education, the value of persistence and tenacity, and the possibility of overcoming obstacles will lead to a successful and satisfying life. The ultimate goal of the program is to broaden students' exposure to the options available to them and build students' confidence so they can affect the trajectory of their lives in a positive, productive, and personally satisfying direction.
