The goal of Boston Children Thrive is to bring everyone in the community together to ensure that all parents and caregivers have the skills, confidence, knowledge and well being they need to be leaders in their children’s healthy development.

Boston Children Thrive in 5 will be implemented in every Boston neighborhood over the next 10 years. With generous funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, it has begun in 5 neighborhoods. In each neighborhood there is an organization called a “hub agency” that is leading and coordinating this effort. Each of these hub agencies is working in collaboration with many community partners.

1. Allston-Brighton -
   led by Family Nurturing Center
