VCU Head Start

The VCU School of Social Work Head Start Program provides comprehensive early childhood education and development services, and family support to 210 at-risk 3- and 4-year-old children and their families in the city of Richmond. The Head Start program provides comprehensive services — family and community partnership, health and nutrition, mental health and disabilities, and education. Parents are given opportunities to participate in shared program governance, serve on various committees within the Head Start program and volunteer with the program.

Virginia Commonwealth University and NBC-12 teamed up to create the series called "It's VCU" to showcase this urban university, located in the heart of Richmond. VCUs diverse students, faculty and programs, superior teaching, steady growth and groundbreaking research are shaping Richmond, the state and the region.

Unfortunately, VCU doesn't have any other footage unless the participating school has some.
