About Community School Readiness Wiring
What is Community School Readiness Wiring (CSRW)?
The goal of CSRW is to strengthen communities' capacity to engage families in their children's learning and healthy development starting at birth
by increasing families' access to early childhood information and resources.
CSRW has three major areas of work:
- Supporting families in promoting the learning and healthy development of their children.
- Working with service providers to enhance service delivery so that young children and their families can easily access and engage in high quality services.
- Building a movement in support of young children and their families that engages everyone and every organization (including businesses) in the community.
Where will CSRW be?
CSRW will be implemented in every Boston neighborhood over the next 10 years. With generous funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Thrive in 5 will begin the CSRW process 5 neighborhoods over the next two years. To apply for CSRW funding, please visit our Request for Proposals page.
How does CSRW relate to Thrive in 5's Roadmap?
CSRW is one of four strategies Thrive in 5 is implementing to achieve our Ready Families Goal: Parents will be able to obtain the accurate, culturally-appropriate information they seek on child development, parenting, and school readiness, as well as community resources that help to strengthen families.
