Community Partnership For Children

What Community Partnership For Children does

Community Partnership for Children (CPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, operating as the designated community-based care lead agency for Volusia, Flagler, and Putnam Counties under contract with the Florida Department of Children and Families. Founded in 2001 following Florida's 1996 child welfare privatization legislation, CPC delivers the full continuum of child welfare services — foster care licensing and placement, adoption services including home studies and post-adoption support, a volunteer mentor program for at-risk teens, and transitional/independent living services for youth aging out of care (including Road to Independence educational funding and Medicaid coordination through age 21). Services are delivered through four office locations and a System-of-Care network of 23 contracts with 13 local providers, supported by a C-suite leadership team with deep tenure in Florida child welfare.
