On October 22nd, we gathered at Stepping Stones Museum to celebrate Norwalk ACTS being a part of the Strive Together Network for 10 years and to launch our new "We are Norwalk ACTS" Membership Campaign.
Rev. Dr. Lindsay Curtis, founding member, spoke about the origins of Norwalk ACTS from 2005 and its progress from a volunteer organization to an independent 501c3 non-profit organization.
Jennifer Blatz, CEO & President of StriveTogether highlighted our success since joining the Network. She stated, "Right here in Norwalk, you’ve created solutions that others across the country have been looking for. Your early childhood work has been used as a model nationwide. Norwalk community advocates and partners across the city have supported more children to reach key milestones."
"Norwalk kids are now two and a half times more likely to be ready for kindergarten, three times more likely to be proficient in third grade reading, and almost three times more likely to be proficient in third grade math. These milestones are the first steps on the path to economic mobility," said Blatz.
