Our Vision for Equity
At PCY, we envision spaces of belonging—for young people, parents, caregivers, families, and in the workforce—that are co-created and built through shared power and lived experiences.
Our Commitment to Equity
Partnership for Children & Youth strives to give all children and youth the learning opportunities and supports they need and deserve to reach their greatest potential in school and life. We can’t achieve this if we don’t confront the racist practices and policies deeply ingrained in our educational systems that make lives invisible and purposefully harm our multifaceted communities. For PCY, equity is an ongoing and active commitment to personal introspection and an ongoing effort to learn, listen, and rebuild in a way that is authentic, redistributes power, and starts from the lived experiences of our collective communities. Partnership for Children & Youth is committed to racial equity in our internal work practices and structures and through our role as a public-serving intermediary bridging practice and policy.
