Clarkston Development Foundation

VISION: CDF ENVISIONS COMMUNITIES THAT ARE THRIVING AND DIVERSE, WHERE THE VOICES OF ALL RESIDENTS ARE HEARD AND RESPECTED, AND WHERE RESIDENTS ARE ENGAGED IN DECISION-MAKING. WE ENVISION COMMUNITIES WHERE RESIDENTS WORK TOGETHER AND WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THAT EARLY LEARNING HAPPENS EVERYWHERE, RESULTING IN EQUITABLE, SUSTAINED POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. MISSION: CDF ACTION ENGAGES RESIDENTS AND PARTNERS TO CRAFT INNOVATIVE, CULTURALLY SOUND COMMUNITY-DRIVEN EARLY LEARNING INITIATIVES THAT BUILD ON COMMUNITY ASSETS. WE SEEK TO TRANSFORM EARLY LEARNING TO CREATE EQUITABLE, POLICIES, PRACTICES, AND PROGRAMS IN WHICH ALL CHILDREN, INCLUDING REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS, ARE NURTURED, SUPPORTED, AND PREPARED TO LEARN AND ACHIEVE SCHOOL SUCCESS.
