Improving the lives of
children in Solano County.

Safe Children. Healthy Families. Whole Communities. Lasting Change.

There are 92,961 children living in Solano County.

That's 30% of the total population.

Solano County is an amazing place filled with diverse people and environments. Our communities are an excellent choice for many Bay Area families drawn here by the beauty, the diversity and the availability of affordable neighborhoods- whether they work in Solano or commute to other parts of the Bay.

Yet, like in every region of California, families here need support to thrive. Challenges like the cost of living, access to health care, and stable housing impact far too many families. Resources are available but too often siloed across different institutions and agencies- even though families don’t live siloed lives.

Our Approach

At the Children's Network of Solano County, we don’t focus on just one sector or issue. We are creating long-term solutions that are built upon a foundation of research, partnership, and advocacy. Our approach is based on the integration of 3 fundamental elements:

Uncovering the need

Collaborating & coordinating

Advocacy

Uncovering the need. One of the most fundamental aspects of our approach is to research and uncover the current needs in Solano County. We ask the right questions, evaluate current processes, identify gaps, and figure out what areas need the most support.

Collaborating & coordinating. Once we've done the research and understand the needs, we work with and support community partners to bring much-needed services to families. This includes direct involvement in coordinating those programs, developing funding, providing training, promoting education, and securing facilities.
