Coastal Coalition for Children Staff Retreat 2026🏖️

Recently, the Coastal Coalition for Children team gathered on beautiful Tybee Island for our annual staff retreat. This special time provided an opportunity for team building, staff camaraderie, self-reflection, and relaxation as we celebrated the incredible work being done throughout our programs. ☀️

Our staff members dedicate themselves each day to serving children and families across the seven communities we serve. This retreat allowed our staff to step away from our daily responsibilities, strengthen relationships with one another, reflect on our accomplishments, and recharge for the important work ahead.

Executive Director Lori Hatton and Regional Program Director Kemso Moore would like to extend their sincere appreciation to Healthy Families Program Managers LaTeashia Steed and Allison Roderick for their leadership in planning this outstanding event. Special thanks also go to Healthy Families Clinical Supervisors Jasmine Kirkland, Miracle Stevenson, and Stacie Hudson, along with Grandparent Connection Program Coordinator Diane Chandler, for their hard work assisting with the coordinating, organizing, and overseeing the retreat.

The dedication of CC4C’S Leadership Team ensured that staff enjoyed a meaningful and memorable experience filled with fellowship, learning, encouragement, and fun.
Thank you to our entire Coastal Coalition for Children team for your commitment to the families we serve. Together, we continue to build stronger families, healthier communities, and brighter futures! 🩵

Honoring Love, Strength, and Community This Mother’s Day 🌸

This Mother’s Day, Coastal Coalition for Children, Inc. was proud to host a heartfelt Mother’s Day Brunch in celebration of the incredible grandparents and relative caregivers in our community 💐

The event was filled with joy, connection, and appreciation as we honored those who have stepped into the vital role of raising children under the age of 18. These caregivers embody resilience, sacrifice, and unconditional love—and it was our privilege to celebrate them.

Through our Grandparent Connection Program, we remain committed to supporting these families every day. Our program provides:

✨ Free tutoring to support children’s academic success

✨ Therapy services for both caregivers and children

✨ Monthly support groups that foster encouragement and shared experiences

✨ Assistance with summer camp fees to create enriching opportunities for youth

💛 This program is completely voluntary and offered at no cost to participants.

The brunch was a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the importance of ensuring caregivers know they are not alone. We are grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the event so special.

If you or someone you know could benefit from the Grandparent Connection Program, we welcome you to connect with us and learn more.

📣 Together, we continue to uplift families, empower caregivers, and build brighter futures for our children.

"They are working to elevate awareness, strengthen collaboration and provide a clearer picture of how nonprofit organizations contribute to the overall health and growth of the region." - great article, and we are truly honored to be part of this work here in our community.

A little more than a year ago, the United Way of Coastal Georgia announced it would dissolve and issue one final round of grants to 14 nonprofit organizations.
