How about you? Join the Partnership.

Hamden needs all voices to work collaboratively towards the goal that all children are safe, healthy and successful learners. Join this dedicated group.

Membership in the Partnership is open to anyone who works or lives in Hamden and wants to focus on the well being of children from birth to age nine. Full Partnership meetings are held 5x per year. It is also strongly encouraged that Partnership members also participate in one of the subcommittees or task force groups. Questions? Please contact Partnership Coordinator Tricia Godfrey (203)407-7733 or email hamdenkids@gmail.com
