Abstract

This chapter illustrates how an online graduate program for early childhood education and care professionals prepares students to take on leadership and advocacy positions and initiatives in their respective communities. Before students graduate from the program, they must develop and implement an Advocacy Research Project to apply the knowledge and skills they gained throughout the program. Situated in North Carolina, the majority of students complete their ARP in rural communities. This chapter showcases four exemplar projects developed and carried out by students in rural communities. Finally, this chapter offers implications and suggestions for university faculty who aim to prepare students to take on leadership and advocacy roles in rural settings.
