Description:
The purpose of the United Agenda for Children was to create a community vision and shared action plan to ensure that all children in Mecklenburg County were healthy, safe, and well-educated. Over the span of five years (2004-2008), a coalition of citizens, civic leaders, corporations, public entities and community agencies came together to identify a set of community priorities for children, examine the research about best community practices, and create a sustainable structure to support and maximize the impact of providers, agencies, and funders working on behalf of children. In an effort to document and learn from the experiences of the United Agenda for Children, the Council for Children‘s Rights commissioned this retrospective, process evaluation of the initiative. The evaluation was funded by a grant from the Bank of America Foundation, and conducted by a faculty member and graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
