*Welcome to Partners for Children*
Partners for Children is a group of fourteen agencies from both public and private sectors who came together to make life better for New York's children and families by encouraging collaborations at the local community level. Beyond these partnerships lie the heart of every child's sphere of greatest influence — the community.	*Meet Our Partners* For more information please visit our partners sites Association of NYS Youth Bureaus NYS Association of Counties NYS Association of County Health Officials NYS Education Department NYS Council on Children & Families NYS Department of Health NYS Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services NYS Office of Children and Family Services NYS Office of Mental Health NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance NYS School Boards Association NYS United Teachers Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy United Way of New York State
How did Partners for Children Evolve?	Just how does this collective wisdom behind PFC make its way to the community?
Several years ago, leaders from both the public and private sectors came together, intent on improvement - not only to make life better for New York's children and families, but also to do it in a measurable way. The result? A partnership for children that would - over time - evolve into a fourteen partner-strong network. The state-level Partners for Children, or PFC.	Simple. You tell us how we can best assist you.
