Yet in Orange County, we're seeing discouraging <br />trends in our families and our communities doing these basic things. And when families struggle <br />to make ends meet, it impacts their children now and for years in the future. The effects of <br />income on children start early with the way children's brains are built, and continue through <br />school, careers and health. <br />No one organization or individual has the "silver bullet" to change the way poverty decreases <br />the chances our children and our community have to succeed. That's why a diverse group of <br />elected officials, community organizations, and government partners are coming together to <br />adapt lessons from successful models, like the Harlem Children's Zone, to Orange County. <br />These models improve children's chances for educational and economic opportunities by serving <br />a defined geographic area (a zone) and its children with a seamless "pipeline" of evidence - <br />based programs, services, and supports from cradle to career. <br />Cradle <br />to <br />College or Career <br />Ewry chi 10 <br />Every young <br />Orange [aantp <br />'I—E, <br />Every child <br />Every €hlld k <br />lC <br />its <br />supports � g <br />6ind4rgdrr{'n <br />sucrceds <br />supported rn <br />high s tiwol on <br />sdwti to <br />healthy and <br />asademiwily. <br />and cut of <br />Mme ffi goes W <br />$thieve rhglr <br />ready ro thrive. <br />shoot. <br />career or <br />Ilfv a rareer <br />caHegE. <br />gptls. <br />Family, Social Services, and Health Programs & Policies <br />Community- Building Programs <br />Supportive Funders & Elected Officials <br />Upcoming Community Events <br />Zone Priority Setting Meetings <br />Come learn about the results of our door -to -door and online needs assessment surveys. We will <br />use the information gathered to talk about the strengths and needs of our community. We will <br />work together to set a series of project priorities that will be shared with the Family Success <br />Alliance Advisory Council at their next meeting. <br />Zone 4: Wednesday, April 8th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Stanback Middle School <br />Zone 6: Thursday, April 9th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Carrboro Elementary School <br />A light meal, childcare, and interpreters will be provided. <br />Zones <br />Adapting other successful models to our communities will be a learning process. To help this <br />learning process, two zones were selected from an initially identified six in December 2014 <br />through a process that combined community listening sessions, a written application by <br />stakeholders in each zone, and an in- person conversation with the advisory council. <br />The two pilot zones are Zone 4 and Zone 6. <br />file: / / /SI/ Agendas/ 2015/ 04- 14- 15 %20Board %20of%20Health/ Family %20Success %20Alliance.htm[4 /7/2015 10:03:19 AM] <br />
