Investing in Spartanburg's youngest residents.
Several years ago, local partners envisioned a Spartanburg where every child arrived at school healthy, thriving, and ready to learn. Years later, and with support from dozens of partners, that vision became a reality through Hello Family.
2015
Conversations began with community leaders from the City of Spartanburg, Mary Black Foundation, and Institute for Child Success, around kindergarten readiness. Data showed children were not arriving at school prepared to learn.
2021
Utilizing outcomes financing, community partners secured funding to launch a suite of services to support birth outcomes, early childhood development, and kindergarten readiness.
2022
Hello Family officially launched, providing funding to four local organizations providing services to families in the City of Spartanburg. Additionally, a hotline was created to connect families to these services and other supports.
2023
Hello Family, now a strategic initiative under Spartanburg Academic Movement, began expanding county-wide as part of the community's Movement 2030 plan.
