Georgia Family Connection Partnership

About Georgia Family Connection Partnership

Georgia Family Connection envisions a Georgia where all children are healthy, primed for school, and succeed when they get there; where families are stable, self-sufficient, and productive; and where communities are vibrant, robust, and thriving. We help achieve that vision by bringing together more than 3,000 local- and state-level partners in all 159 counties in Georgia working toward measurably better outcomes for our children, families, and communities. Georgia Family Connection is the only statewide network of its kind in the country. This gives us a unique vantage point—not only to see the big picture, but also to operate effectively at a local level. At the local level, we connect our partners to the resources they need, we help coordinate and manage efforts, and we empower our communities to craft local solutions based on local decisions. Our disciplined approach to collaboration allows us to extend much-needed locally based support and to make effective use of existing resources and services. We develop creative solutions to expand, improve, and cultivate new efforts that work to eliminate service gaps. So, at our core, we advocate for system changes that eliminate the barriers and inefficiencies standing in the way of progress and positive outcomes. At the state level, Georgia Family Connection Partnership (GaFCP) serves as a learning-based organization that supports the statewide network. As Georgia's KIDS COUNT grantee, and connector to national- and state-level initiatives, GaFCP provides decision-makers at all levels with reliable data they need to help improve outcomes for the communities they serve. We also provide customized technical assistance and training, promote what works and develop standards that can be replicated nationwide, and maintain a system of accountability—making things measurably better by forging relationships in trust, learning from our successes and our missteps, and being loyal stewards of our resources.
