Ready by 21 Leadership Network Brochure

If you are like the hundreds of leaders across the country, the challenge is that you are dealing with dozens of narrowly-defined problems (teen pregnancy, illiteracy, school dropouts, youth violence, premature births, etc.) that lead to fragmented responses that don’t add up to real change. The Ready by 21 National Partnership has tools and supports to help leaders work smarter.

In almost every community and state, there are passionate leaders who have taken on the critical task of bringing together the full range of people working on child and youth issues. These leaders are helping weave these efforts together to transform their community or state into a wonderful place to grow up. Anyone trying to align disparate efforts to achieve greater effectiveness, sustainability or scale will want to  become a registered Ready by 21 leader.

So whether you’re just getting started and using the quick self-assessment tools to guide your own learning, looking for like-minded leaders in similar communities, or positioned to create and implement a comprehensive action plan, the Ready by 21 Partnership is committed to connecting you with what you need – from presentations and publications to long-term technical assistance that helps you tackle obstacles and take advantage of opportunities.
