Thirty-three community teams are currently participating, and we hope to add up to seven (7) new teams this fall. Click here to download the application to become a team.

Good Beginnings Mini-Grants
The Good Beginnings Mini-Grants support one-time projects and serve as a catalyst for community-based prevention activities across the state. The guiding principle is that preventing child abuse is everyone’s business and success depends upon organizations, agencies, community groups and individuals working together. 10 communities were awarded grants for FY10.
