For Door County Partnership for Children and Families Community Connector Rebecca Paulsen, helping you and other parents get the support you need means walking a mile in her shoes. Since the program was launched a decade ago, the Door County Partnership for Children and Families has helped hundreds of families get connected to everything from parenting tips, educational books, and infant supplies. Some of Paulsen’s greatest moments on the job have come from connecting area youth with educational opportunities and helping families get their children the support they need. Paulsen says a lot of her knowledge comes from being a struggling parent herself once upon time and her willingness to walk with parents that are a lot like she was on their own journey.

The Door County Partnership for Children and Families is an internal program of the United Way of Door County which relies on funding from the organization’s Annual Campaign to push their work further into the community.
