community-centered partnership to envision a more equitable education system where every student can become their best self. Throughout the state, our investments helped create and expand the state’s first early childhood education office and increase access to early learning programs for the most vulnerable children. All the while, our support for families’ economic security is strengthened by a partnership among all of the state’s community colleges to help nontraditional students connect to careers in the state’s growing industries.

We are working with community members to realize their vision of becoming a child-centered city by creating more equitable systems and policies across all sectors. Alongside our partners, we are supporting children in their earliest years – helping mothers to breastfeed; increasing access to good food, quality health care and early childhood education; and connecting people to career pathways that lead to stable, high-quality jobs. In response to the impacts of Hurricane Katrina, we are helping advance trauma-informed practices in schools and in the community. New Orleans is unique in that it is the lone charter-only school system in the U.S. and we support its efforts to implement culturally-competent policies that help children thrive.

In central and southwest Haiti, we are building local alliances and investing in community visioning processes to identify and advance opportunities for children and families. Community members seek to improve access to quality K-6 elementary education systems; create more income generation opportunities; and expand access to quality nutrition and maternal and child health care. As a result, we are increasing school enrollment and retention rates through the Model School Network; improving hospital delivery rates and the number of trained health professionals with St. Boniface Hospital; and strengthening family income through agriculture production by tapping new value chains with ACCESO Peanut Enterprise Corporation.
