Euclid Collaborative Happenings.....
What's new in 2010!
The Euclid Collaborative is EXPANDING! In 2010 we will be servicing not only Euclid residents but families in the areas of Euclid-Green, Gates Mills,
Highland Heights, Lyndhurst, Richmond Heights, South Euclid, Mayfield Heights and Mayfield Village. In 2010 we are required to service a minimum of 350 families through our Prevention and Wrap Around Services. We are asking help from our Collaborative members with this expansion project.
If you or someone you know has a connection to an agency, faith-based organization, counseling office, school, etc....in these new cities please contact Courtney or Alicia. Our goal in 2010 is to include these new service areas in our monthly Collaborative meetings and give these agencies an opportunity to share about the work they do and what services our families can benefit from.
We will also expanding our Foster Family Recruitment efforts in 2010. We will be scheduling 2 Collaborative Community Days where our partners will be able to share information with residents about the work that you all do along with a large scale recruitment effort that will coincide with this event. We would like to raise awareness about the need for Foster Families specifically for the 12 and up age range.
Robert Pruitt has been promoted to the Senior Wrap Specialist and a CONGRATULATIONS to Courtney Nicolai and Marsha Cerny for graduating from the Case Western Reserve University Treu-Mart Youth Development Fellowship in January!
