The Victory Train is Rolling in Greene County!




The Victory Train is Rolling in Greene County!

Climb on Board the Victory!




We are happy to announce the Victory Train initiative is underway in Greene County.  The Victory Train launched to Greene County families at the Back to School Bash on July 30, 2016. 

The Victory Train initiative is an ongoing collaboration among service organizations, businesses, schools, churches and governmental entities, working together to collectively address the needs of children and families in Greene County.  We have launched Phase I of the Victory Train, which is the Early Childhood initiative, covering children from pre-birth to five years of age.  In taking a dual generational approach, the Victory Train partners will work with parent and child to insure that both are ready when the child starts school.  The Victory Train facilitates monthly meetings with twenty-two partner organizations and schools that focus on serving children in these early childhood years.

Each month, The Victory Train meets with partner organizations and schools to:
·         Share information about each organization and how to best learn from and support each other
·         Coordinate services to fill gaps and avoid unnecessary duplication
·         Come alongside parents to help them realize they are the primary educator in their child’s life
·         Work together to create pathways of opportunities so parents and children are ready for school

The Victory Train is facilitated by ATLAS Ministry and is working to create pathways of success for parents and children in Greene County, creating a supportive peer group of influence, where families can learn from and support each other onto successful pathways in life, all the way through to adulthood.


The entire Greene County community is invited to participate in the Victory Train initiative.  There’s a place for everyone on the Victory Train!
