We invite you to participate in our 2024 Strong StartS for Children fundraiser to invest in our future.

Strong Starts for Children is a fundraising campaign led by Women United to support the Secure Start Expansion program. Through Secure Start, our network of community partners offer parents support and education to help them effectively nurture a bond with their child which is one of the most important factors in a child’s overall health and life success. 

THE GOAL

To equip more parents and educators with the tools they need to create secure, healthy, and nurturing relationships with children, who are our future! Our 2024 fundraising goal is $25,000. These funds will impact 750 children in Greater New Haven! To meet this goal, we'll need community members, your networks and you!

THE OUTCOMES WE'RE AIMING FOR

• The proven Circle of Security model can fundamentally change how people parent and care for children, and we want to take it to scale so all children can thrive.     
• 750 children surrounded by empowered adults who feel confident in their caregiving 
• Reduce stress levels of parents, educators and caregivers through connection, skill-building and increased confidence
