Community Partnership for
Children Wins Children's Advocacy Award
On November 7, the Community
Partnership for Children was awarded the Children's Advocacy
Award by Encompass Childcare.
The Children's Advocacy Award is
given to honor an individual or group that promotes the
necessity and importance of active involvement for all children
in our society.
Encompass Director Rose Smits gave
the award to Community Impact Manager Sarah Inman and Community
Impact Director Stephanie Foley.
Below is an excerpt of the Rose's
speech.
"There is no group more
deserving of this award than the Brown County United Way's
Community Partnership for Children. It has a wonderful vision.
Just imagine what our community will be like when their vision
is realized:
“Every child, from birth
through elementary school, has the resources and opportunities
needed to develop to his or her potential, and families have
the support they need to nurture their members and to
prosper.”
"Do you know what? The
Community Partnership for Children is well on its way to making
this happen. The
Partnership is a collaborative
effort to create a communitywide system of family support in
Brown County. Its mission is to provide all parents with the
tools they need from the time their babies are born, so that
every child can enter school ready to learn and grow.
"At Encompass, we are not only
proud to be a part of the Partnership, we, along with 37 other
community organizations, are the "heart and soul" of
that mission. We know how great the needs are in Brown County,
and we know how badly parents need these tools to build strong
families.
"With support from United Way
and leadership from the Children & Families Impact Council,
three goals are being worked on by 38 partners in order to
realize this dream for families. They are:
1. To connect with parents of all
new babies born at Brown County hospitals.
2. To coordinate current services
so they can effectively be linked families
3. To identify any gaps and then
fill the gaps
The Partnership is out in our
community right now building
relationships, integrating referral
networks, identifying provider and client needs and
collaborating to generate increased resource for everyone
involved.
"The Partnership began in 2004
after extensive study, and it continues to evolve. It is
provider driven and community owned. It is well on its way to
fulfill a dream that everyone here tonight shares — that every
child has the resources and opportunities needed to develop his
or her full potential, and that families have the support they
need to nurture their members and to prosper.
"When this happens, what a
wonderful world it will be!"
The Brown County United Way would
like to thank all the volunteers and partners who have made the
Community Partnership for Children a success.
