Avoid the last-minute rush to complete your annual professional development credits. With our new monthly program, you can earn them gradually and avoid the stress of meeting deadlines at the eleventh hour.

The funding opportunity from the Governor’s Office of Children (GOC) – the ENOUGH Grant Program – continues to accept applications for the Partnership Development Track.

In the Partnership Development Track of the ENOUGH Grant Program, grantees will develop a formal partnership network to conduct a place-based initiative around a shared vision for their community’s success.
