Communities are a vital source of support for families. Whether it is through the availability of good jobs, quality transportation, healthy air and water, safe outdoor places to play, volunteer opportunities for young people or policies that support working parents, communities matter. The Jordan Institute seeks to do our part in providing training, expertise, resources and partnership into communities across North Carolina – working together to create conditions where families can succeed.
