The collaborative community partnership which aims to address many of the unmet needs includes the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester, Child Care Resource &Referral Head Start, & Tri-Valley Opportunity Council, Inc. Migrant Head Start. These three organizations have come together in a mutual commitment to provide a continuum of service to the children and families in the Rochester area. They have found they are serving many of the same families, and that by working together, they can do more.

Benefits of this partnership include:

• Bringing partners together under one roof will create a one-stop-shop for families who need services the most
• Ability to serve more families and eliminate waiting lists
• Increased efficiency in staffing, resources, transportation, and costs
• Approved food service facility will adequately meet the nutritional needs of youth
• Continuous, coordinated services for all youth and families
• Removes barriers to access
