Local Intermediary Organizations: Connecting the Dots for Children, Youth, and Families Over the past several decades, policy makers and program planners have come to understand that children, youth, and families need a range of supports and services to live healthy, productive lives. While conventional wisdom supports the belief that comprehensive services are an essential element in the support of children and families, programs and services, in reality, still mirror the old approach— disconnected services, separate funding streams, and multiple agencies providing services. In an era of tight resources and increased local responsibility for programs and services, communities are experimenting with new ways to connect the service dots for children and families. Local intermediary organizations are a promising approach to efficiently and effectively connecting and delivering a range of supportive services. |
