Welcome to the Marion County Children's Alliance
|
The Children's Alliance, formed in 2001, works to ensure all children have a safe, healthy and nurturing environment in which to grow. By providing children and their parents or caregivers greater access to services and programs, their quality of life and our community will be improved. The Marion County Children's Alliance works in three major areas:
1. Communication, collaboration and coordination among agencies and individuals who work with children and youth;
2. Providing a voice for children with local and state representatives and agencies
3. Assistance to parents and youth to help secure needed resources and support services.
If you would like to stay connected with us and be included in our Annual Membership Directory, please fill out the "Alliance Annual Directory Request" found on the left side under FORMS. |
