What are Neighborhood Collaboratives?
Neighborhood Collaboratives are groups of social service agencies, settlement houses, children’s services agencies, schools and neighborhood leaders who provide an array of formal and informal services and supports. These services and supports for children and families include such things as: after-school programs, daycare, recreation, mental health services, tutoring, etc. The parent Advocates that we talked about in a section above are connected to the Neighborhood Collaboratives, and can help connect your family with neighborhood–based services and supports.
