North Shore Collaborative

Mission

By working together to strengthen families and honor diverse cultures, the North Shore Collaborative strives to improve access for all our children to community resources and opportunities that promote healthy development.

Vision

Our vision is a healthy community where children are a high priority. Families, the community, schools, public and private agencies work together as partners to address the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health of all our children. The North Shore will be a safe, welcoming and supportive place to live, work, and raise families.
