Meet Our Community Partners
Elgin Partnership is strengthened by cross-sector partners committed to helping support and prepare children five and under to succeed in school and life. EPEL's community partners share resources, services, and in-kind donations.
Partners collaborate to support early learning initiatives, volunteer time, and expertise. We appreciate our partners' time, expertise, and efforts to bring action to the early childhood movement in a child's first 2,000 Days of Life from Birth to Kindergarten.
