Share how one of StriveTogether’s core values is important to you.

Our value of community is important to me because since I’ve had kids, I’ve better understood that it really does take a community to raise kids. And while our work is often focused on systems, the communities that we live in and surround ourselves with also play such a critical role in supporting all kids and families to reach their full potential.
