Central Maricopa Regional Partnership Council

About the Regional Council

Each Regional Council’s members include 11 volunteers committed to improving the lives of Arizona’s youngest children - birth through age five - in neighborhoods and tribal lands across the state.  Regional Council members include parents, as well as representatives from early care and education, health, K-12 education, the faith-based community, business, philanthropy, and tribal nations.

These community members are dedicated to promoting a common vision, acting as a voice for children in their region, and creating a system, through coordinating with existing services and building on needs, that connects services to children.

The needs of young children and families are, and always will be, the priority. First Things First—and the Regional Partnership Council Members—are family-centered, community-based partners bringing together state and local government, communities and families.
