JOINT INITIATIVES FOR YOUTH FAMILIES (JI) – An Equal Opportunity Employer
Joint Initiatives for Youth Families (JI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving the Pikes Peak region. JI’s work centers on empowering individuals to advance a safe, healthy, and flourishing community by preventing, reducing, intervening, and solving the social problems when families have limited (or fragmented) access to thrive. JI leads the charge to bring over 60 different community organizations, local leaders, and government agencies to the table, working collaboratively to solve data-driven community issues embraced with an equity lens and collective impact focus.
JI’s three primary programs offer a range of services for youth (birth-21) and their families, extending from a preventive focus to more intensive intervention services.
JI is the umbrella organization for three statutorily required state councils: the Early Childhood Council (Alliance for Kids), the Interagency Oversight Group (IOG), and the Juvenile Services and Planning Committee (JSPC). The IOG and JSPC have joined to become the REACH Committee.
FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Foundations is the early childhood program of JI, bringing together agencies and individuals to work collaboratively on a seamless system of care for young children and their families in El Paso County.
SUMMARY OF POSITION
Local partnership and systems-building efforts are necessary to give children equitable access to health and developmental screenings so that they can be healthy and well in the early years and beyond. This will be accomplished by providing Early Childhood Health Specialist services at the child, classroom, program, and community levels and in partnership with parents, teachers, center director(s), and Child Care Health Consultants (CCHCs). Ultimately, this coordinated work will seek to achieve three overarching goals: 1) educate Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) providers and the greater community on the impact of early dental and health screenings on school and behavioral success; 2) create conduits for CCHSs to conduct annual health screenings at each UPK site; and 3) build and strengthen partnerships between UPK providers and primary care.
