Equity | Empowerment | Transformation
Purpose
The purpose of San Juan County Early Childhood (SJECC) coalition is to engage multiple stakeholders and community voices to work collaboratively and collectively in support of children and families within our community. We believe in the shared strengths we create and the transformative vision we each possess. SJECC is an action network that engages a broad base of early childhood leaders from the county to create a common vision, common outcomes, and comprehensive aligned strategies to make sure that all young children thrive in strong families and in healthy neighborhoods, no matter where they reside in our community. We strive to create a community of partnership where family partnership is elevated and at the center of all decision making.
Guiding Principles
San Juan Early Childhood Coalition operations are based around the following values and are held together by a set of agreements between and amongst members and the following operational procedures. SJECC is not an independent legal entity but rather a group of organization and community representatives who voluntarily come together to work for systems change in our community.
SJECC believes in a community that is:
Agile: able to respond to changing conditions; focused on projects and best practices; using contractors and partnering with members to accomplish objectives; and structured virtually as much as possible with minimal overhead
Innovative: using new technology, knowing best practices, searching for cutting edge systems ideas and upstream solutions.
