Hello!
Welcome to the first installment of the monthly NCIT Capacity-Building Hub Digest! To support your prenatal-to-age-three (PN-3) efforts, the BUILD Initiative will be sending this Digest to all grantees, coalitions members, and partners. If you’re interested in having your work featured in the Digest, please email NCITinfo@buildinitiative.org.
Because you previously received communications from the Pritzker Children’s Initiative, you have been subscribed to receive this Digest. If you prefer NOT to receive the Digest, please update your preferences here.
About the NCIT Capacity-Building Hub
The Capacity-Building Hub, an effort of the National Collaborative for Infants & Toddlers (NCIT), offers consultation and support to assist Pritzker Children’s Initiative-funded state and community leaders and their coalitions to make the provision of PN-3 opportunities and services more equitable. The goal, by 2023, is to help states and communities reduce by 25 percent the gap between the children and families served by high-quality programs and the children and families who want the services but don’t have access to them. The Hub aims, by 2025, to help states and communities decrease the gap by 50 percent.
The Hub will progressively grow its efforts to increase the knowledge of all state and community leaders by sharing promising strategies and resources other states are successfully using to improve maternal health, birth outcomes, and infant-toddler well-being.
