Applications Open: Bridging Systems Workgroup for States
Article Publication Date
Summary
The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network has opened applications for an opportunity to replicate the evidence-informed Bridging Systems for Kinship Families model.
The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network invites applications to participate in a peer workgroup of three to four states that will focus on learning and developing strategies from the Bridging Systems model to replicate and implement in their own state. Each state will be represented in the workgroup by a team of two individuals: one governmental agency staff, and a second person representing a government agency in a different system or a community-based organization.
State teams will participate in virtual workgroup sessions that will meet bi-weekly over a three-month period between March and May 2027. These sessions will equip teams with information, tools, and peer sharing to prepare to initiate, develop, and implement this model in your own state.
Applications are due on Friday, January 15, 2027.
