Partnership for Children & Youth
Partnership for Children & Youth (PCY) is an advocacy and capacity-building organization championing high-quality, equitable learning opportunities for underserved youth in California. Since its founding nearly 20 years ago, PCY has catalyzed large-scale change by strategically supporting people, organizations, and systems to leverage their resources to support children in under-resourced communities. Grounded in research and experience, PCY trains school and community-based educators, facilitates relationships between schools and community-based organizations, and advocates for effective public policies and resources. PCY is dedicated to a future where all children reach their full potential through equitable access to learning opportunities and supportive learning environments.
Opportunity Everywhere:
Partnership for Children & Youth is focused on providing opportunity everywhere: at school, at home, and in the community.
