READYGO – Synergy Initiative Round 5

The Health Foundation provided over $1 million to fund READYGO (Readying Educators And Developing Young Children for Great Outcomes). The goal of the project was to maximize the number and outcomes of children in Early Education and Care/Head Start programs by creating trauma-informed learning environments through new behavioral management skills to successfully impact children’s social and emotional health and academic achievement and by increasing educators’ capacity to deliver trauma-informed care and foster more equitable educational outcomes for children. The partnering agencies included Making Opportunity Count (MOC), Worcester Community Action Council (WCAC), and the YMCA of Central Massachusetts.

2020-2023 Total Granted: $1,033,200
