Why Action Agendas?

There is a great deal of excellent work already happening in King County to support children, youth and families.  Yet despite this great work, many children and youth are not accessing the resources they need for success.  Where efforts could be coordinated, work happens in isolation. 

If we want system-wide results for kids, we must have systemic solutions that recognize local work. An Action Agenda does not supplant existing work – it strengthens it by developing tools to connect, convene and catalyze the community.  A shared agenda ties together all levels of efforts for children and youth into regional and countywide solutions, which allow us to connect efforts that are already happening, to streamline resources, to learn from each other, and to improve the lives of children and youth together.

SOAR developed two Action Agendas through extensive, inclusive community planning processes. The Action Agendas outline our community’s goals, priorities and strategies for ensuring children and youth from birth to age eighteen can thrive and succeed.  The Action Agendas focus on two different age groups: early childhood (birth to six years old) and school-age (ages six to eighteen). The Action Agendas are used by SOAR teams, staff and partners to align and prioritize efforts.
