This spring, the Stanford Center on Early Childhood put out a call for organizations to work with the RAPID Survey Project to co-design and implement surveys in their own communities. We received a tremendous response, and are excited to announce the organizations who will collaborate with RAPID to deeply listen to parents of young children in their communities and to take action using the insights and data that parents share.
Five organizations were selected as part of the 2024 RAPID Community Voices cohort:
🟡Common Ground Health & ROC the Future Alliance, Rochester, NY
🟡The Early Childhood Alliance Onondaga, Onondaga County, NY
🟡Northside Achievement Zone, Minneapolis, MN
🟡Partnership for Community Action, Albuquerque, NM
🟡Whatcom County Health & Community Services, Whatcom County, WA
In addition, and new this year, two organizations were selected as Innovation Communities. These groups will explore, design and implement innovative approaches to listening to parents in their community:
🟡Delta Health Alliance, Stoneville, MS
🟡Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services, Fairfax, VA, in partnership with George Mason University
All the organizations share a demand for actionable, timely data and insights on the experiences of families and young children in their community and an interest in centering parent voices and experiences in the design of policies, programs, and services that are intended to support them.
