JWB Annual Report Video FY23 | The Power of Connections

The Juvenile Welfare Board has been part of the fabric of the Pinellas County community for more than 75 years, investing in partnerships, innovation, and advocacy to strengthen the lives of children and families in our county.
Watch our annual report video, featuring the work and impact of JWB and our partners during fiscal year 2023.
As we reflect on JWB’s work and impact last year, the word “connections” takes many forms.
o EARLY CONNECTIONS…because learning and mental health begin at birth. JWB increased our investments in the zero-to-three space with new programming and a campaign focused on nurturing early connections and healthy development for babies.
o We continued our work to ensure HEALTHY CONNECTIONS for children - and we’ll hear today just how important belonging and human connections are for kids.
o We invested $17.1M in new funding to give children the best opportunities to learn, thrive, and succeed. These STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS included new, innovative programs to address unmet needs and funding to stabilize the workforce of our programs.
o For JWB, 2023 was a year for CREATIVE CONNECTIONS, where we shared our data, expertise, and best practices with others for an even greater impact for children.
JWB exists to meet the most pressing and immediate needs of Pinellas County children. We ensure they are ready to learn, succeed, and thrive in homes, schools, and neighborhoods that are healthy and safe.
