Our Chloe's Place Foundation Building Team met tonight. It is always exciting to come together and get caught up with the information our members have gathered. Tonight's meeting was special in that we welcomed a new member to our team. Dee brings a wealth of knowledge in Early Childhood Education. We look forward to learning from her, especially as we consider curriculum and programing for the children we will serve.
We worked on our Mission Statement... it is amazingly difficult to come up with a succinct statement that fully describes the vision! We are getting close. It will be a trimmed down version of the one that is at the bottom of the posts.
A new challenge to consider. What ages can we serve? We have felt confident in planning toward serving teens on the younger end of the spectrum, but will have to weigh that against possible legal and financial barriers. We have some research and surveys to complete to get a full picture of the state of teen parents in our community. We have to make sure of legalities that impact residential programs specifically. I hope we can have all the data we need by our January meeting. Each decision builds on another... so I small delay can set us back a bit!
We are making progress.
