Director, Statewide Campaign Strategy 

About the Opportunity 

Direct Too Small to Fail’s (TSTF) statewide campaign strategies to provide parents and caregivers with tools to promote their young children’s early brain and language development. Oversee the support and scaling of TSTF’s statewide Talking is Teaching campaigns. Develop a comprehensive strategy and cultivate relationships with and support state leaders, community partners and other key stakeholders in using TSTF tools, resources and strategies.

​​Today, almost 60 percent of children in the United States start Kindergarten underprepared, lagging behind their peers in critical language and reading skills. We envision a world where all families have access to high-quality early learning resources, every community is filled with spaces for young children to thrive, and all parents and caregivers engage in language-rich interactions with their children. Too Small to Fail, the early childhood initiative of the Clinton Foundation, surrounds families with early language and learning opportunities, and supports parents and caregivers with resources to talk, read, and sing with young children from birth to help prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond. Learn more here. ​
