Friends & Champions
"All children born in Connecticut beginning in 2004 will enter kindergarten healthy, eager to learn, and ready for school success."
-- Adopted by the Early Childhood Alliance, 2003

Ready, Set, Grow is looking for one adult "Friend of Connecticut's Young Children" for every child born in Connecticut this year. That means we need about 40,000 Friends!

In addition, Ready, Set, Grow believes that 10% of our Friends want to do something more for young children and we call these go-getters "Children's Champions".
