Limited Connections
Casey data show that poor families simply don’t have the same connections that more affluent families take for granted.
Family strengthening is the focus for this issue of Casey Connects as 3 community-changing Casey initiatives are highlighted: KIDS COUNT; FAMILIES COUNT; and TARC – Casey's Technical Assistance Resource Center. A new brand of Casey help reopens a shuttered school while network building deepens the national momentum toward a family empowering agenda. A smaller story spotlights Casey people and projects.
Casey’s new Technical Assistance Resource Center (TARC) draws on Casey’s technical assistance network, internal expertise and research capability to find answers for folks who are addressing a particular community issue. “Peer” pairings of community leaders and national experts are an integral part of the Foundation’s customized assistance strategy for its Making Connections initiative.
