On May 20, Greene County Family Connection hosted its inaugural Greene County Well-Being of Children Summit, bringing together local leaders, educators, healthcare providers, nonprofits, and community members for a powerful day of collaboration focused on improving the lives of children in Greene County.
The summit provided a platform for sharing data, identifying key challenges, and developing collective strategies to enhance outcomes for local youth.
Topics included early childhood development, access to healthcare, educational equity, family support services, and emergency response.
“This event is the first of its kind in Greene County,” GCFC Executive Director Targie Folds said. “Our goal is to unite the community around a shared vision for our children’s future and to turn that vision into action.”
Speakers included representatives from the Georgia Family Connection Partnership, local schools, the Greene County Health Department, the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services, State Rep. Trey Rhodes, the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, City of Greensboro, and other vital partners.
A vendor area allowed attendees to network and engage in meaningful discussions, laying the groundwork for long-term community partnerships.
The summit reflected Greene County Family Connection’s ongoing mission: to connect organizations, align resources, and drive collaborative solutions that improve child and family well-being throughout the county.
