Vision Statement:
Sustainable, transformative community school partnerships that inspire hope and prepare children to impact their world.
The Caring for Kids Network has only one program which is to engage community organizations to leverage their resources and volunteers in collaboration to serve a local schools. We primarily serve schools educating children in high poverty areas.
We serve the districts and the community partners without charging fees for our services to avoid competing agendas. We raise all of our own funding. Our team evaluates and plans with the district leadership and works directly with principals and staff to ensure we align with their goals and objectives. The process is contextually applied to each school to create an individualized action plan that identifies mutually reinforcing activities to reach a common goal. The Caring for Kids Team helps every step of the way to facilitate. Our process is labor intensive in the beginning, but our goal is to equip for long term sustainability for years to come.
OUR FOUR-STEP PROCESS
Helping kids move beyond their circumstances in a school setting requires an individualized approach. If given the right support and opportunity, we believe all children can succeed and create positive futures for themselves. Strong school-community partnerships provide an important part of the individual support needed. The Caring for Kids process helps develop mutually reinforcing activities to accomplish common goals. The unique needs of the school determine the community resources and volunteers required for each project.
