What Do We Do

1. Facilitate and convene cross-sector partners to collaborate and set shared priorities, including convening the Children’s Cabinet, coordinating sessions that engage diverse perspectives to work towards cooperative and coordinated efforts, and helping set shared community priorities with clear success measures.
2. Coordinate and leverage resources for shared priorities, including seeking funding, coordinating grant-writing among partners, providing seed funding for sustainable projects, and supporting and implementing relevant professional development across partners.
3. Engage and connect with partners and the community, including communicating regularly about evidence-based community needs and opportunities for collaboration, sharing learnings and stories of success, establishing open channels of feedback and dialogue with partners, and supporting meaningful cross-sector community engagement.
4. Catalyze, incubate, and foster programs and initiatives, including incubating or assisting with the launch of pilot projects and new initiatives, and supporting the development of existing programs in line with shared priorities.
