Angel Pittman: A Champion for Our Children's Education

March 4, 2021

After 15 years of serving at Touching Miami with Love, I am excited to continue my 18 years of work with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship as field personnel to my new role as an Educational Advocate. Locally in Miami-Dade County, my ministry supports low-income families of children with special needs. As I provide one-on-one advocacy, my goal is to impact the school-to-prison pipeline that disproportionately affects children of color with disabilities and show the love of Christ to this vulnerable population. I recently became a board-certified Advocate in Special Education from The National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) and the American Academy of Special Education Professionals (AASEP).

 Within the Fellowship, I serve as a consultant with field personnel, churches, and partner organization that serves vulnerable children in educational programming. I am also involved in legislative advocacy efforts to defend public education with a particular interest for protections that ensure quality access to special education services for low-income families throughout Florida.

 Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from Baylor University and always knew I would work with students and enjoyed my years of classroom teaching before coming to CBF. If you or your church has a heart for vulnerable children, I would love to speak with you. You can learn more and find my contact information at angelpittman.com
