Project details
What we need
- An easily understood visual aid that communicates complex information
- A high-resolution version of the Infographic in the Organization’s preferred format
Additional details
We're looking to simplify how the preschool-to-elementary school (P3) network works in Marin City to help low-income families thrive. It's complicated, with lots of providers, and we think an infographic to help families navigate the system of providers with a goal of building community around educational outcomes is very important to everyone.
What we have in place
- We currently have a providers listing and program listing, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the agency CEO and Marin City partners able to talk, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to hire more teaching staff in our preschools.
We work in strategic partnerships to help increase educational outcomes for students of low-income in Marin City, a traditionally African-American community in Marin County. The system to help students and families succeed in education is present, but filled with mis-information. We want to help families make good choices and better educational outcomes.
Project plan
Our mission
We make it possible for people to achieve wellbeing by providing the education, mental health, and vital services they need. Together, we break down the barriers that get int he way of fair and lasting change in service to better outcomes for all.
What we do
We're working to make Marin a place where all of us can live with dignity and respect and have an equal opportunity to support ourselves and each other. A third of households don't earn a sustainable income, and that rises to over half for people of color. Shockingly, a family of four now needs $130,000 a year to cover their basic needs, a 50% increase from 2014. With 20% of people earning $20,000 or less, this problem is only getting worse.
Our job is to fill in the gaps and help people lift themselves up. We cover unexpected financial emergencies so people can keep a roof over their heads and the lights on at home. We make sure kids can do well in school by making early childhood education and care affordable. We're removing the stigma of mental health challenges and getting people and their loved ones through times of crisis and we're helping people take charge of their money and grow their income so they can have a more secure future.
For over 50 years, we've been there when our community needed us most. We now offer more support to more people than any other organization in the county, but demand is growing every day. We're galvanizing our community to tackle these issues as a shared social responsibility so Marin can work for each and every one of us.
