Guilford County Partnership for Children (GCPC)

🎬 Join us for a powerful hour that matters—to your business, your community, and our local economy. Guilford County Partnership for Children (GCPC), Ready for School, Ready for Life, and GenerationEd have partnered to invite you to a screening of Take Care, a 20-minute short documentary and corresponding panel that explore the child care crisis in North Carolina—and its growing impact on our workforce and local economy here in Guilford County. Why attend? Because when child care breaks down, so does the workforce—and that affects every one in our community.
