Community Connections

Aspiranet has successfully partnered with public and private agencies to provide resources and services to communities all over the state.  Whether it’s coordinating to provide safety information to prevent child abuse or advocating at city hall and the State Legislature, or organizing community events around specific issues, Aspiranet employs a variety of community building techniques to ensure safer lives for our children.  Our program devotes time and effort to community education and raising awareness of issues and resources for families.  Sometimes resources go untapped because of miscommunication or lack of awareness, our programs bring people together, translating and delivering information right to the volunteers and families that need it.

 

Aspiranet insures our network of providers advocate together to educate decision makers on issue that matter to our children and community.  Our agencies advocate on behalf of the youth and the families we serve.  Our statewide presence provides us with a unique perspective on the challenges facing the state and local communities.  Aspiranet is active in national and California issues including policies on afterschool programs and child welfare.  

 

Our partnerships help families be together in a loving and caring atmosphere.  When we see a need, Aspiranet is agile, and we help families find resources to enhance their lives.  Even though we've grown into one of the largest, non-profit agencies in the state, our local offices allow us to offer the same level of personalized attention and community service.  We have established strategic partnerships with several organizations that care about the work we do and support the agency's vision, mission, and values.
