What We Do

Every Kid in Our Communities of Leeds and Grenville generates positive change for children and their families by bringing together key players from our communities, including those who may not have previously engaged due to agency or professional boundaries.

We provide a neutral forum for our members to focus their considerable expertise and unique perspectives towards one common goal of ensuring the best possible chances for all kids in Leeds and Grenville.  

The best possible chances are built upon the external assets available to kids within their families and their communities.  To this end Every Kid members use the common framework of Developmental Assets to facilitate cooperative efforts.

Our collaborative make-up and approach makes it possible to properly identify and address the critical issues impacting children and youth through meaningful research, thorough analysis, well designed action plans and systematic evaluation.

The success of Every Kid in Our Communities of Leeds and Grenville is due in large part due to our demonstrated innovation in four key areas:

• Ways of Working

• Developmental Assets

• Six Expected Outcomes
