Yesterday, Turrell staffer Madison McHugh-Thieke met the team at with Main Street Counseling led by Steve Margeotes in West Orange, NJ, to discuss opportunities for partnership and collaboration. 

Main Street provides best in class, accessible and affordable counseling and mental health services both in office and throughout school systems in North Jersey. 

Turrell and MSC have partnered for many years and continue to work toward joint goals in improving outcomes for children and their families across the state.
We're excited to reshare this video from @montclairfoundation, stewards of the Van Vleck House and Gardens, showcasing the Turrell Fund Outdoor Education Center!

Thank you to the Montclair Foundation & the expert architects / landscapers who oversaw the development of this beautiful event space.

We're excited for all of the children and families who will benefit from public use! 

Plan a trip to visit soon.
Last week, @hmhnewjersey HealthySteps Specialists Latasha, Ediza, and Tierney attended the @zerotothree LEARN Conference in San Diego. This conference connected early childhood professionals across the nation to discuss their work and the landscape for infant and early childhood mental health. 

The Turrell Fund is honored to support #HealthySteps and the Specialists at HMH who are providing incredible support for the youngest and their families in #NJ.
Come out to #NewarkPorchFest this Saturday, September 24!

Wow! We are so proud to be named as the 2022 Champion for Children Honoree for @passaiccountycasa.

It's been a pleasure and a privilege to support this organization over the years. The top-tier team led by Erica Fischer-Kaslander has skillfully launched and led the @zerotothree Safe Babies Court Team program in three counties across New Jersey.

We thank Passaic County CASA for their incredible work on behalf of children and families across New Jersey. Here's to many more years of success!

Early experiences, particularly for children ages 0-3, impact the developing brain. Early investments can provide a lifetime of potential and opportunity for children and their families.

Let's Grow Kids

K-12 Education

Our Areas of Focus

K-12 Education

Public school and other pursuits of knowledge for children are essential to rich and fulfilling livelihoods and enhance quality of life.

Oasis

Jazz House Kids

Social Services

Our Areas of Focus

Social Services

While we strive to change systems for the better, we recognize that families have basic needs that must be met here and now. Every family is entitled to nutritious food, high-quality early care, compassionate healthcare, diapers, and every resource necessary to give their children a strong start.

Systems Change

Our Areas of Focus

Systems Change

Systemic racism, entrenched poverty, and flawed policy decisions punish BIPOC (black, Indigenous and people of color) families, stifle social mobility, and hold our communities back. We fight alongside our partners to ensure access, equity and compassion in our systems.
