Children & Child Well-Being

"Building the Five Promises for Success"

CARING ADULTS
SAFE PLACES
A HEALTHY START
EFFECTIVE EDUCATION
OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP OTHERS

Research shows that society reaps the greatest return on its investment in young people when those investments are made consistently from pre-school through adolescence. Thus, the Partnership has a large early childhood department which focuses its efforts on assisting childcare providers of children birth to age five in offering high quality care and education, as well as staff who focus on implementing programs for preschool children through early adulthood.

Young people receiving at least four of the Five Promises are more likely to achieve academic success, be socially competent, participate civically, and avoid violence and substance abuse. When resources – time, talents and treasures – come together for youth, more children will realize the Five Promises they need to succeed. In our work with children, we have strived to make a difference.

Community & Capacity Building

At the heart of the Partnership is the belief that facilitating positive change, while building the capacity of organizations, agencies and individuals, will lead to long-term measurable outcomes. Community and capacity building is about using ideas and resources in new ways to strengthen communities and the residents that live there. As good stewards of our ever shrinking federal, state and local resources, we recognize that community and capacity building is not a luxury, but a necessity.
