About the Forsyth County Community Connection
Who we are…
The Forsyth County Community Connection is a private, non-profit Family Connection Partnership. As a nonprofit intermediary organization, we work closely with community, state and national partners to:
- provide training and technical assistance customized to meet our community’s common and unique needs and support efforts in making better decisions locally;
- build and maintain relationships with public and private agencies and communities to share and combine resources, promote public policy, and improve services and supports for families;
- enhance public awareness, understanding, communication, and commitment to improve results for children and families; and
- promote "what works" using research and evaluation practices that have proven to be effective in communities, while showcasing community successes.
We provide leadership through our commitment to:
- holding ourselves accountable for improving conditions for children,
- providing family supports and services with a family focus,
- fostering collaboration among public and private organizations, and
- promoting local decision-making.
