This blog, we admit, is somewhat of an experiment. Blogs in the nonprofit arena are rare. Blogging is an increasingly popular and familiar medium of communication in fields such as journalism and science. Yet, we're starting to see nonprofit blogs pop up. Vince Matulionis of United Way of King County keeps an excellent blog on King County's efforts to end homelessness.
Child and youth development is as urgent and timely an issue as homelessness. There is a great deal to say, to ask, and to discuss. The news is full of stories of youth succeeding or facing daunting odds, articles about the latest child and youth development research, or information about parenting.
At SOAR, helping kids reach for the sky, we decided it's time for us to have a blog too, as a way of interacting with the community, sharing our and others' thoughts, and spreading the latest research and news. We strongly welcome guest posts; if you'd like to write a piece (short or longer) for the blog on an issue facing children and youth, please contact us at dgardner (at) uwkc.org.
Please leave comments and join the discussion!
SOAR, helping kids reach for the sky, is a community collaborative that connects advocates for children and youth in King County. By working together on ideas and actions, we believe the community is more likely to reach our goal of helping children and youth succeed in school and in life.
