Ways to Give

child handAn Investment in the Future

A child’s early years hold the key to their success. Children who are healthy and prepared when they enter kindergarten do better in school and are more likely to graduate and enroll in college. Well-educated adults are more prepared for the job opportunities in a global marketplace and will contribute to the strength of their community.

By supporting the Cabarrus County Partnership for Children, you are increasing young children's access to high-quality early education, early literacy programming, health services, and family programs.
