How can the community help Rochester’s children thrive? ROC the Future Alliance studies this question and is gearing up to release its annual “State of Our Children" report card. The progress report covers early childhood and high school outcomes, parent/family partnerships, and youth leadership and engagement.

- Lorna Washington, Ed.D., chair of ROC the Future Alliance
- Toyin Anderson, parent/family partner with ROC the Future Alliance, and member of the board of directors at The Children’s Agenda
