2006 Goals
Calendar Year 2006 will be the
Children's Global Network Foundation's secondt full year in existence,
and will see the first disbursal of funds to agencies engaged in service
to young people. The financial support of individuals, corporations,
foundations and government agencies will make our work possible. By
combining all revenue sources, the Foundation will be able to support
two to five organizations in 2005-6 focusing in New York City and London.
The first three organizations to receive support
in the USA will be Clearpool, Inc., The Soho Center and The CityKids
Foundation.
1. Clearpool, Inc. is a hundred year old institution
providing children with an enriching multicultural experience and engaging
thousands of children annually in a rigorous, hands-on curriculum for
10 hours per day, 11 months of the year, on 2 campuses and with 2 teachers
and no more than 20 students in each class.
2. The Soho Center offers a variety of child-related
programs including promoting early literacy and school success, affecting
children's nutrition and enhancing the quality of childcare.
3. The CityKids Foundation’s mission is to engage
and develop diverse young people to effect positive change in their
lives, their communities and the world. Founded in 1985, today The CityKids
Foundation is one of the nation’s leading providers of leadership
training programs and services for youth. At its core, CityKids focuses
on the development of young people. In an organization that is multicultural
and youth-driven, they educate, train, and empower young people to produce
solutions to problems they identify as pressing in their lives.
The Children's Global Network Foundation recognizes
that the task of meeting the needs of children on a global scale is
daunting beyond compare. Therefore, our goal is to begin in New York
City and London by supporting and recognizing a select group of agencies
whose services are clearly exemplary. These agencies will receive both
financial support and publicity, and will be covered extensively on
the Foundation Website. As the Foundation grows in the years to come,
we anticipate broadening the selection of agencies on an international
level. The result will be a diverse network of children's service organization
that are supported by the Foundation and whose work can serve as an
inspiration both to others within in the network and the many other
agencies throughout the world seeking innovative and proven means of
supporting children.
