 Support Smart Growth in Your Community
Launched as an initiative in 1999, the Essex County Forum is taking a leadership role in promoting smart growth planning for our county. This role is especially needed because, unlike in all other New England States, there is no state level planning agency in Massachusetts to guide development. The Forum hosts numerous educational events and activities, and the Forum staff are available to answer questions and to provide information.

Help our Kids
 Initiated by the Foundation in 2000, the purpose of the Youth At Risk Initiative is to develop a collaborative network among the numerous Essex County agencies, which in various capacities serve at-risk youth and their families, to the end that such a network might enable services for children to be delivered in a collaborative and comprehensive manner, create continuity of care, maximize resources, and offer opportunities of healing, growth, and enrichment. We are proud to have recently hosted our sixth annual conference at Endicott College, with over 500 registered participants.
