Together we can make a difference.
Working with community stakeholders, Minus 9 to 5’s goal is to build better early care and education system in Southside Hampton Roads by coordinating and aligning programs and services for families from conception to kindergarten.
The impact of this long-term, system-building endeavor will be felt gradually over time. The baseline data for the shared metrics will be monitored periodically to measure the progress of the community’s work to ensure children are healthy, thriving, and ready to learn.
Minus 9 to 5 is a collective impact initiative of the M. Foscue Brock Institute for Community and Global Health, housed in the Department of Pediatrics, Eastern Virginia Medical School.
