Invitation to May 25 event--Community Engagement, Analysis and Leadership for the Wellbeing of Children-Urban Institute's NCCS

Join the Children’s Coalition of the Lehigh Valley (CCLV) for the Community Engagement, Analysis and Leadership for the Wellbeing of Children—Urban Institute’s NCCS (National Center on Charitable Statistics) Lehigh Valley Community Platform on Thursday, May 25 from 12 to 4 pm at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, Kasych Pavilion (see attached registration form). This is when we will be showcasing an exciting community project for the entire Lehigh Valley. You will not want to miss this chance to learn more about this platform—an online database, toolkit, and resource hub—that can dramatically change the way the entire community addresses important issues facing children in the Valley.

The Lehigh Valley is ready to become a pilot site for the National Center for Charitable Statistics Community Platform—one of just a few sites across the nation to implement this tool during the pilot process. (See attached document for a description of the tool.)

CCLV is a lead partner in the development of the tool along with the Lehigh Valley Research Consortium (LVRC). We will use this tool to fully engage many stakeholders throughout the Valley and to provide in-depth analysis of community assets and needs with respect to children. CCLV firmly believes in bringing this analysis, along with other resources on the site, to every nonprofit, legislator/policy maker, government agency, school facility, healthcare entity, law enforcement, and human service agency to we can work together on sound data not assumptions.

Please use the attached form to register. For more information, please contact Carol Obando-Derstine at ed@childlv.org or 610-868-2805.
