COMMUNITY INITIATIVE · IN DEVELOPMENT
Stronger support around the same child—connecting five capacities: Child, Family, Teacher, Administration, and Community.
Our aim is to help skills and support travel between home, school, and community. Adults and the systems around children hold responsibility for their protection.
We are listening, developing, and refining this initiative with a commitment to learning what helps.
