CONTINUING TO EXPAND

The national Cradle to Career Network launched in 2011 as a way to connect communities who are building cradle to career civic infrastructure using the the Strive Framework. The Network enables members to share expertise, identify and adapt programs that work and develop effective tools and resources that can be brought to bear on specific challenges.

The network of Cradle to Career communities is growing.

Since its start in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky in 2006, Strive’s Cradle to Career sustained-improvement approach has been initiated in communities in 20 states and the District of Columbia.
