Mission
Our mission is to improve the well-being of children raised in intergenerational families by promoting best practices in service delivery, and by fostering research that is relevant to the formation of sound public policy.
The National Center is the first organization to bring together a diverse representation of practitioners and researchers to collaborate on the development of best practices for providing services to intergenerational families.
In fulfilling its mission, the National Center seeks to:
* Influence public policy regarding issues confronted by grandparents raising grandchildren
* Educate professionals on the needs of intergenerational kinship care families, and
* Replicate best practices as they relate to service provision nationwide to ensure better outcomes for children, intergenerational kinship care families, and communities.
The National Center is at the forefront of issues associated with intergenerational kinship care, fostering collaboration among policy-makers, researchers and the service providers who work directly with grandparent-headed families.
