Partners for Children Plus

This site is an addition to the regular Partners for Children website. 

Oftentimes there are activities or research or 'stuff' that comes up that seems perfect for the larger PFC community.  These items can feel too 'big' and perhaps have 'fit' for a more advanced audience compared to the regular site. 

SO PFC Plus is going to attempt to fill this niche.

If you feel so inclined, let us know what you think.  We'd love to hear if you have other ideas for this new space. 

Thanks!

-Kate Swales
Coordinator, PFC
