CCYP in Falmouth Resource Series: The Coalition for Children
Welcome to CCYP in Falmouth's Resource Series!
CCYP's recent initiative, dubbed "CCYP in Falmouth", seeks to stem the out-migration of young workers from Falmouth by providing increased opportunities for connection, community engagement, and career advancement.
As part of this project, we're excited to have the opportunity to spotlight Falmouth-based resources that aim to support young professionals personal and professional lives within the Town of Falmouth. Today, we're spotlighting, the Coalition for Children! Thank you to the Town of Falmouth and Falmouth EDIC for helping to make this series possible!

How does the Coalition's work affect young professionals in Falmouth?
Young professionals on Cape Cod, through our 2018 Needs Survey, identified access and affordability of childcare as a major concern for young families in our community. The Coalition for Children offers valuable resources to help bridge the gap between accessible childcare and programs and the larger community. Their work is often cited as a key source of information for Falmouth-based families.
