Isabella Valencia has been selected as the 2020 First Things First Pima South Champion for Young Children.<\/p>\n
The award is given to local champions who actively volunteer their time to raise public awareness of the importance of early childhood development and health. Champions spend a significant amount of time volunteering with FTF and building public awareness about the importance of early childhood issues.<\/p>\n
Valencia has attended and volunteered at community events specifically serving families in the FTF Pima South Region. Through Valencia\u2019s social media presence, she is one of the strongest advocates for Arizona\u2019s youngest.
