Support Us

There are over 300 pre-k programs in our service area who have children needing highly trained teachers. Research shows that children learn better when teachers have more education. Help us fill that need by supporting our programs and services.

We value any member of the association or community who donates their time, energy or support. Please read below to find out ways you can help Gulf Coast AEYC.

Donate Supplies

GCAEYC hosts events for teachers and families, conducts training and conferences, and operates an office. We are always on the lookout for recyclable art and office supplies and other goods. If you have an item you think we can use, let us know. All donated items are tax-deductible. Check out our Wish List for current items.

Donate Your Time

GCAEYC always needs short-term volunteers for our conferences and events. If you can donate an hour or more of your time at an event, let us know. Volunteering at a GCAEYC event can also be a great service project for high school clubs, community service organizations, or businesses looking for a teambuilding project. Call our office to see what events you can be part of.

Donate Your Financial Support

Help us build the early childhood profession by offering scholarships for membership and professional development. Your donation can help teachers earn their degree, attend state and national conferences, or become a member of a profesional organization. All donations are tax deductible. There are several ways to donate:
