History

For many years, a group of organizations committed to the well-being of children and families in
Mecklenburg County has been working together on several shared issues and concerns. Organizations have informally collaborated on various projects in the community, primarily focused on a specific goal or outcome.  

In 2002, these organizations decided to form a collaborative—now called The Children's Alliance— with the purpose of working on identified projects as well as creating a forum for new collaboratives to emerge.

The work of the Alliance was originally facilitated by The Lee Institute, first in its formation and later in managing a smooth flow of meetings and operations of the group.  Now, The Children's Alliance is facilitated by a rotating leadership team.  The Children's Alliance meets monthly to learn about each other's services, build a shared understanding of key issues, and explore opportunities for collaboration.  In 2010, The Children's Alliance redeveloped its website as a portal of information for families and caregivers to build community awareness and support for children's issues.  A graduate student intern or part-time employee provides administrative support for The Children's Alliance.
