EDUCATION
To recruit partners, programs, and private sector organizations committed to providing affordable opportunities for training, development of marketable skills, and career pathways that prioritize inclusion, diversity and outreach to non-traditional employment pools.
Education is one of the most reliable predictors of health outcomes because it is the single most statistically substantiated link to financial stability. Please join the CPN as we begin 2021 working to make education a priority in Wake County, in our State, and most of all in our Legislature! Investment in the education of our youth will break the generational cycle of poverty faster and more completely than any other budgetary line item!
