What does addressing climate change, increasing graduation rates, and reducing poverty have in common? Collaboration and partnership. It takes both to accomplish and sustain long lasting community change as no single organization or effort can address the myriad challenges communities face. On this episode, Nicole Blum from the YWCA, Michael Evans from the Kalamazoo Literacy Council, and April Goodwin from Southwest Childcare Resources, discuss elements needed for effective, healthy collaboration and the Edison Early Childhood Education (ECE) Career Pathway  project - a neighborhood based effort to expand child care availability and access through entrepreneurial support to community members who wish to obtain credentials in early childhood learning and development.
