Priorities for Montgomery County’s Children

> Priorities for Montgomery County’s Children

A blueprint guides the Collaboration Council’s work on behalf of Montgomery County’s children, youth and families.

Established in 1998, The Children’s Agenda identifies a common mission and shared goals for children.

A collaborative effort forged with community involvement and political will, this agenda is the foundation for decisions made by the Collaboration Council.

Its priorities are:

  • Healthy children
  • Young children ready for school
  • Success for every student
  • Young people prepared for the workplace
  • Young people making smart choices
  • Stable and economically secure families
  • Children safe in their home, school and community
  • Communities that support family life

Putting these priorities into action is the work of Planning Brighter Futures for Children, Youth and Families: A Five-Year Community Strategic Plan for Montgomery County, Maryland.

Covering FY 2007 – FY 2012, the five-year plan is solely dedicated to improving child well-being in Montgomery County, Maryland.
