GHCC/Enterprise- Head Start Coordinator
 
 
 
Enterprise Community Partnership has been a leader in community revitalization in Baltimore since 1982. The mission of ECP is to create opportunity for low and moderate income people through affordable housing in diverse, thriving communities. ECP has led the education planning process and is now the designated lead in the People Strategy of the Choice Program grant proposal. The impact of early childhood education is well established. Not only does quality early childhood education increase academic performance in the elementary school years, it can improve the entire educational trajectory for children. In order to achieve goals and objectives, each of the organizations working with children and young adults must work together to design comprehensive strategies that coordinate delivery of services. This project addresses the need for greater communication and collaboration between two neighborhood entities serving the Central West Baltimore’s youngest individuals; Head Start and the neighborhood elementary school, Eutaw Marshburn. The overarching goal of the Strategic Plan is to ensure healthy, successful academic outcomes for every child in the target zone by removing barriers to success and instilling in children the potential for college attendance. This position is sponsored by Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) in Baltimore, MD; and the VISTA member will serve with Enterprise Community Partners in Baltimore, MD. GHCC serves as the VISTA Project Sponsor to more than 20 nonprofit, government, and community organizations throughout Baltimore City and Maryland. Established in 1969 to help neighborhoods become safer, better places to live, GHCC's mission is to build and strengthen vibrant urban communities. GHCC will provide support to Enterprise Community Partners and the VISTA member throughout the year, including recruitment, training, professional development opportunities, and resources.
