Why We Do This Work
Our Challenge: Equal is not Equitable
Families and children living in certain communities face unique challenges in their pursuit of well-being and prosperity. These challenges are complex and multi-faceted. Addressing them effectively requires strategic, concentrated, and sustained investment that is currently beyond the capacity of any one entity or system. We must work collaboratively across sectors – both inside and outside schools – to ensure that children (and their families) receive adequate and timely supports required for success -- supports, for example, to help children read at grade level early in their educational journeys. Our failure to do this today compromises the productivity of the workforce and quality of civil society tomorrow.
