The Door County Community Foundation has awarded Lakeshore Community Action Program (CAP) a Sustainability Grant from the Martha Cherry Fund and the Health and Human Needs Fund. This grant supports their Door County Cradle to Career program.
Cradle to Career coordinates collaborative and comprehensive services to Door County residents who are pregnant or parents under age 30 through a Coordinator/Case Manager. The coordinator links families with educational, career, parenting education, wellness and economic supports to build self-sufficiency.
“Currently, no Door County programs provide comprehensive and individualized coordination of case management for young parents and their families,” said Sally O’Brien, board member of the Door County Community Foundation. “The Door County Community Foundation is committed to supporting the young families of Door County through this grant to Lakeshore CAP.”
Door County Cradle to Career has a unique organization structure designed to capitalize on the combined expertise and passion of the representatives in the Steering and Administration Committees to build a new program for young families of Door County.
