The Whole Child Project is dedicated to helping communities "be communities where everyone works together to make sure children thrive." As we create tools with the assistance of existing Whole Child communities that might help other communities become Whole Child communities, we will post them on this website. Any community is welcome to use any of these tools as it sees fit.

Whole Child Community Planning Process - What is the Whole Child Community Planning Process?

Self Assessment Tool

The Whole Child Project was created by the Lawton Chiles Foundation in partnership with Electronic Training Solutions, Inc, and local communities in Florida to create communities "where everyone works together to make sure children thrive". This self-assessment guide is a tool that existing and new Whole Child communities can use to measure their progress toward being a Whole Child Community.

Assessment Objectives:

The Whole Child self-assessment has three objectives: 1. To determine the level of community commitment to ensuring that all children thrive. 2. To measure the effectiveness of the Whole Child Connection in helping families meet the needs of their young children, and 3. To measure improvements in child well-being related to the community commitments identified by each Whole Child community.
