Choice-Filled Lives Network

Choice-filled Lives Network works to disrupt the systems, mindsets and inequitable distribution of access that perpetuate the opportunity gaps that are destroying the fabric of the US and the world. All children and families, including those who have experienced generational inequity and lack of access, deserve a chance at having Choice-filled Lives, and we believe that educational and system leaders, and community organizations, particularly those that are led by and/or represent the backgrounds of the children and families they serve, play a critical role in making this a reality. Therefore, we approach all of our work through the lens of capacity building and transfer, coordination of efforts and resources among leaders of color and organizations with aligned missions, research, and our own mission, vision and values, in any effort to pave Choice-filled paths for all children. Mission: The mission of Choice-filled Lives Network is to ensure that research-based best practices in leadership, organizational development, evaluation and learning science are equally distributed in the early childhood, K-12 public health and social service sectors, so that all children and families, particularly those who have experienced generational inequities and lack of access, can live choice-filled lives. We work toward meeting our mission through a focus on primarily developing and supporting leaders of systems and mission-aligned organizations through the following CORE Tenets: · Capacity Building & Cooperative Economics · Organizational Development · Research & Evaluation · Educational Best Practices Vision: Our vision is to eradicate educational and societal opportunity gaps, by providing mission-aligned leaders and organizations with access to the resources, capacity, cultural capital, and networks necessary to support all children and families in determining their own destinies and leading Choice-filled Lives.
