How do you get connected with children who qualify for the Swan 4 Kids program?

We work with community partners to identify children who qualify. The School District of Lancaster is one of our largest resources for enrollment. Principals, teachers, intervention specialists, and family resource counselors from SDoL actively work on enrolling children. Many community partners recognize the importance of Swan 4 Kids as an intervention program and refer their contacts.
