Leadership Pathways for Home Visitors of Color: An Exploration
Start Early
The Leadership Pathways Project was created out of a need to learn directly from home visitors of color about the successes, barriers, and strategies that this vital component of the workforce incurs when striving for leadership opportunities. There is a current and much needed focus on home visitor workforce well-being, and numerous academic studies have been conducted to ascertain the barriers and resources that exist. There has been less of a focus on the well-being of home visitors of color and how they perceive and experience workforce wellbeing, and even less of a focus on leadership pathways for home visitors of color, how they define leadership, and how they experience the barriers and successes to leadership opportunities. This project provides a window into the experiences of home visitors of color, in their own words and through their own observations. The purpose of the project was not to create more burden on home visitors and supervisors to fix the problems that exist, but to provide information and data that can eventually lead to upstream system changes that better support home visiting professionals of color.
