Collective Impact for Westchester’s Children:
Collective impact is the dynamic process of a group of actors from different sectors committing themselves to a shared agenda in order to solve a particular social problem. Westchester Children’s Association is pursuing collective impact to address some of the most pressing needs of our county’s children and youth. Learn more about this initiative at our 2015 Advocacy Breakfast.
