Joint Initiatives for Youth + Families (JI) is excited to launch its newly designed website!
JI’s recent rebranding project comes to life on the website, incorporating the new JI logo, colors, and program logos for Foundations, Voices, and Pathways. It’s also a reflection of all JI has accomplished – from restructuring and the growth of our staff to the development and implementation of our Racial Equity Action Plan.
A few things you’ll find on the website:
- The Community Family Calendar is the new home for parenting classes, training, and events for families with children from birth – 18, and features the option for community organizations to submit events relevant to children, youth, and families for review and posting.
- The Professional Development Calendar is the new home for all early childhood professional development.
- FAQs – FAQs are offered on each program page. All FAQs (general and program-specific) are linked on the Resources page.
- Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP) is featured on the Our Work page and the Voices program page – plus, we’ve highlighted the REAP glossary of terms on the Resources page.
- Careers – under the About Us menu. This page features career opportunities with JI, early childhood programs, and other organizations in our community serving children and youth. Programs and organizations may use the submission form on this page to share career opportunities with the community.
- There’s SO much more! Check it out!
Our goal has been to make this website an easy-to-navigate tool for our community of valued partners, as well as for families with children and youth. Please share it widely! We would like to acknowledge the collaborative efforts of our JI staff and community partners – their input helped create the framework for the content. We would also like to recognize the efforts of Neon Pig Creative – their expertise helped bring our vision for this website to life.
