What is the Consultation Cadre?

Over 200 professionals, working in urban and rural areas across the country, already have volunteered to network with others to share what they know. Some Cadre members run programs; many work directly with kids in a variety of settings and on a wide range of psychosocial problems. Others are ready to share their expertise on policy, funding, and major system concerns. The groups encompasses professional working in schools, agencies, community organizations, clinics and health centers, teaching hospitals, universities, and so forth. 

How does it work?

If you are willing to offer informal consultation at no charge to colleagues trying to improve systems, programs, and services for addressing barriers to learning, please complete this form and checklist. If you would like to provide more detailed information, feel free to attach a resume or vitae. We will make this information available to colleagues on our web page. Also, if you have a need that might be met by a cadre member, contact us.
