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.
