"Fresno C2C has had an incredibly productive year! In 2019 the collaborative spirit we have been advancing for several years was put into action and the results were impressive. The development of the Preconception to Age 5 Blueprint is a fine example of what can be accomplished when shared purpose, trust and talent intersect. By working together across sectors and agencies, we now have an actionable plan that provides the specific strategies needed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Fresno County’s youngest children and their families." –Linda Gleason, Executive Director (2019)

"In this report you will see how our Fresno C2C indicator matrix, in the context of a life course framework, reflects the critical milestones a child must reach to live a life of well being. The data clearly shows that a child who gets off track early in life is bound to continue that trajectory. Our work is both to ensure that children start out and stay on track, while at the same time, build ladders for those who are off track to get back on." –Linda Gleason, Executive Director (2018)
