Committee Goals and Priorities

At the last meeting the Committee seemed to settle on focusing on resource development (Packett fund, recruiting volunteers, support community school goals etc) and supporting and advocating for families. Is this what the committee took away from the discussion last month? Seems to be 

 

A good way on moving forward on the family work would be to hear from folks who are organizing around the needs of families and children in the area. Potential speakers could be Amanda Talbot and the folks at SLYC, PTOs at local schools, parents in SHAA coalition, other parent leaders, Baltimore Family Alliance, Carroll Park Athletics, out of school time programs (SAFE Center, Boys and Girls Club etc)

 

Is there a set of questions that we’re looking to the answers for? Want to know what they are doing, what are they seeing that they can’t address, what age groups is there programming for? What resources are out there/what can we do to support what they are doing? Where do people see gaps for families that may not be filled with formal programming? 

 

Committee discussed challenges with the YouthWorks program and the importance of recognizing generational families in the community

 

Also important to review what the committee had done in the past

 

If anyone is interested in forming a subcommittee for fundraising for the Packett Fund or something else let Abigail know
