Our Partners

In 2012, Champion of Children collaborates with multiple community investors/stakeholders at a time when resources are tight but momentum exists to make real strategic decisions about the vision and agenda around educational needs in our community.  Champion of Children as an initiative of United Way of Central Ohio can most fully support community goals around early childhood education if it joins with like-minded investors to make thoughtful and sophisticated choices about our future. 

Champion of Children's community conversations and partnerships will connect the dots between United Way of Central Ohio's initiatives and investments in early childhood and education to strengthen school readiness goals and outcomes for all children in central Ohio.
