CAC  Supporting the Families in the Community of East Grand Rapids

Call to Action

THE COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL CALL TO ACTION

The Community Action Council is a community/school partnership organization, originally formed in the 1980’s, made up of parents, school administration, city leaders, and other community representatives. We invite you to join us in promoting healthy lifestyles for our children and for the community with The CAC i-care Network.

 

THE i-care NETWORK

The CAC i-care Network is an effort to alleviate some of the anxiety parents face as our sons and daughters meet new friends and become more independent. This is an "opt-in" program meaning that, as parents, you can choose whether or not to participate. Participants will be included in an "i-care Pledge Directory” listing the names of the parents who share similar kinds of concerns and agree to a set of common expectations. We are asking parents to sign the following pledge, and by doing so become part of a CAC i-care network. We believe that a common set of expectations will be a source of comfort to parents who share such expectations.

 

THE DIRECTORY

With permission, we will publish a directory listing your name(s) and your telephone number. Parents may then refer to the list when making decisions with their teen about attending social events. This information will only be used for the i-care database and will not be given or shared with any other programs, agencies, or organizations, etc. Please consider the pledge carefully. Remember it is illegal to permit a gathering where youths under the age of 21 consume alcohol or use illegal drugs. Other parents are relying on your sincerity. On behalf of the parents and teens in the East Grand Rapids Community, we thank you for your concern and support of this effort.
