 Seeds of Impact: Increasing Your Harvest Strategy Influence

Jamie Walta

What is a harvest strategy—and what role do early childhood educators play in making it effective? Join this OpenLearning@MLC Power Hour designed for WELS early childhood educators to explore how harvest strategies can move from paper to practice.

In this one-hour webinar, participants will . . .

  • Gain awareness of their ministry’s harvest strategy (or recognize the need for one)

  • Build confidence as a harvest strategy team member

  • Identify next steps for bringing energy and purpose to their ministry’s efforts

Whether or not you are familiar with your ministry’s harvest strategy, join us to learn more or to support our fellow early childhood educators in the harvest field!
