The PCC is building a cradle-to-career system of services and supports to ensure every child can thrive in Poughkeepsie.
About us
The Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet (PCC) is a collective impact organization that was formed in February 2020 to develop a citywide cradle-to-career agenda for children, youth and families in the City of Poughkeepsie, New York. The PCC emerged as an outcome of the first-ever Poughkeepsie Summit at Harvard University in August of 2019. This first of its kind summit convened more than 20 local officials and nonprofit leaders to discuss community development opportunities related to the City of Poughkeepsie’s future, with a focus on improving opportunities and shifting conditions for children, youth, and families in Poughkeepsie. The PCC was established to create and catalyze citywide systems of support that ensure all children, youth, and families thrive across all aspects of their lives. By bringing together an entire community of leaders and institutions across sectors, we strive to address Poughkeepsie's pervasive intergenerational challenges of poverty and educational inequities. Together, we are reimagining how decisions that impact children, youth, and families are made.

The Poughkeepsie Children's Cabinet is excited to announce we are hiring a Children's Funding Coordinator! We're seeking a curious and enthusiastic individual to join our growing team as we work to increase socioeconomic mobility in Poughkeepsie, NY. This role has an explicit focus on advancing sustainable and equitable funding for children and youth, and will be responsible for helping the Poughkeepsie Children’s Cabinet and community partners answer the following three questions: (1) How much are we (as a community) investing in our priorities for children and youth? (2) What is the true cost of investing in our priorities for children and youth? and (3) How can we fill the gap between current investment and the true cost? Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eTe9h2tX
