The mission of the Orange County Partnership for Young Children (OCPYC) is to ensure that all young children arrive at school healthy and ready to succeed. We focus on the early years of a child’s life from birth to age five, which is the most critical time in a child’s development. Our priorities focus on the county’s families and children to eradicate predictive outcomes for children based on race, cultures, or adverse childhood experiences, instead, building on the strengths of the child-family unit for positive outcomes. OCPYC manages programs having a variety of funding sources, including federal, state, and private grants, for which budget management and timely implementation of program activities are imperative. As the county administrator for Smart Start and NC Pre-K, OCPYC manages compliance, site monitoring, technical assistance, site payments, and reporting. As a past grantee of Human Services funding, OCPYC has met its objectives and budget requirements. OCPYC implements multiple literacy programs, including Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Ready4K, and Raising a Reader and has hosted the Orange County Campaign for Grade Level Reading—each with different program and budget demands. OCPYC follows the living wage policy guidelines of Orange County Living Wage but is not yet certified. Docusign Envelope ID: CAC7EC7C-77BA-407E-AAC1-F02C0C75525F
