Cobb Collaborative

During the year the Collaborative hosted various capacity building training and networking events. Overall attendance increased and we had just over one thousand individauls attend workshops, seminars, meetings networking events, etc. The Collaborative also particiapted in various community based groups who are addressing needs and service gaps in Cobb County. The Collaborative engages its members in these initiatives and provides resources, data and tools to support the work. We also continued our work as the local partner of the GA Family Connection Partnership to improve outcomes for children and families. During the year we became much more intentionally focused on three main initiatives childrens literacy, behavioral health and civic engagement. The Collaborative hosted its two signature annual events in November the Homeless Memorial and Vigil in partnership with Kennesaw State University and the Human Services Award Luncheon.
