Born Learning Trail

Born Learning is an innovative public engagement campaign that helps parents, caregivers and communities create quality early learning opportunities for young children. A born learning trail contains 10 interactive signs with activities for adults to engage in with young children to turn an outdoor trip into a fun learning experience.

SHREVELAND CONSTRUCTORS LLC, INSTALLS THE FIRST BORN LEARNING TRAIL IN NORTH LOUISIANA, 2017

The Opportunity

United Way is looking for community partners to help install new trails throughout the community.
Born Learning is a national public engagement campaign designed to build United Way impact strategies, public support and political will for early childhood education. The campaign educates parents, caregivers, and communities. Born Learning is a tool for long-lasting community change that supports young children.

  1. Awareness and Education: Born Learning makes it simple and easy for parents, grandparents, informal caregivers and professional child care providers to find understand and apply the latest research to help children come to school ready to succeed.
  2. Action: Born Learning puts research-driven products — along with tools and templates for education and outreach — into communities through a national grassroots network that’s creating innovative ideas to help local children.
