Our Approach
The BRICK Approach
Why?
BRICK builds pathways to economic mobility and prosperity for children and families by developing comprehensive approaches to eliminate academic achievement gaps, housing insecurity, health inequity, hunger and lack of economic mobility.
What?
We do this through a holistic, coordinated approach that addresses the needs of both children and their caregivers across four core areas:
- Education
- Health & Wellness
- Housing
- Career and Employment
How?
Our two-generation model has five levers:
- School as a convening institution
- Pre-Cradle to Career Infrastructure
- Deploying culturally relevant, data-informed solutions
- Braiding Funding
- Leveraging technology to ensure a tailored, coordinate approach
