Communities Supporting Youth, a Cradle to Career Collaborative

Communities Supporting Youth is a cross-sector collaborative of people working at various levels in diverse organizations that aims to align and increase school and community supports – for children, youth and their families – that contribute to academic and life success with a focus on eliminating disparities.

The Convening Partners of this Collaborative are the SUN Service System Coordinating Council and PSU's Center for Improvement of Child and Family Services.

The Communities Supporting Youth Collaborative is a part of the All Hands Raised effort to ensure the sustained success of every child in Portland and Multnomah County from cradle to career. Visit www.allhandsraised.org to learn more about this work.
