WCEL Changemakers

WCEL Changemakers are a group of compassionate people - just like you! - whose sustaining gifts make a strong and steady impact, one month at a time. 

Changemakers create the foundation that ensures local families have access to WCEL’s free and low-cost early support services—nurturing growth, resilience, and joy—even when other funding resources become unpredictable or lessened. 

In appreciation of this generous commitment, we consider our Changemakers to be WCEL family and do our best to keep you informed and included all year long!

According to a RAND Corporation study, for every $1 spent on Early Support programs, society gains an economic return of $17 by age 40, primarily due to lower expenses on therapeutic supports, special education, and public assistance.
