The following list illustrates the range of community-based organizations with which the Institute works.  Each of these organizations has active contact with faculty at the Institute who provide technical assistance to the programs.  Some of the programs also involve collaboration with state, regional, and national agencies, which are also noted in the list.  Most of the organizations are grassroots groups in communities where families face severe challenges.
