A Stronger “Village”
Supplemental Education Is Part of Cherry Hill’s Community-led Transformation
We’ve all heard the expression: “It takes a village…”
And the Cherry Hill village is growing stronger.
Our support for education in Cherry Hill is part of something larger. It is part of the community’s own 2020 Transformation Plan, coordinated by the “backbone” or “community quarterback” nonprofit called Cherry Hill Strong. Cherry Hill Strong is a member of the national, Atlanta-based nonprofit Purpose Built Communities national network of neighborhoods committed to a shared strategy of place-based, holistic, community-led transformation.
There are four “pillars” of Cherry Hill’s transformation strategy, and Dream BIG supports the first:
- Cradle-to-college-and-careers supplemental education services;
- High-quality, affordable housing;
- Community wellness; and
- Economic vitality initiatives.
For all the children of Cherry Hill, this means they are far from alone in the challenge of overcoming historic underinvestment and systemic barriers to the creation of a thriving community… with thriving schools for our children and families.
Our Mission
In partnership with the communities we serve, Dream BIG utilizes a placed-based approach to co-develop, resource, and deliver a high-quality continuum of educational services, which enable young people to choose with dignity their own path toward success.
