The Alliance
for Children and Youth of Waterloo Region is an independent organization
of members working together to improve well-being for children, youth
and families in our community. Our strength lies in the collaboration
of our membership — that is, together we can achieve more than any of
us could working alone. We believe in sharing responsibility for raising
happy, healthy and valued children and youth, and that building on the
strengths and capacity already available in our community is an effective
approach to do so.
We bring together a wide range of child and youth-serving agencies
as well as interested individuals to better the lives of children and
youth through collaborative discussions, planning and action. Such a
collection of people and perspectives allows us to capture the most
complete picture of how well our community is doing at the job of taking
care of children and youth. We can then mobilize effective teams to
respond to issues that need to be addressed.
