Board Chair

As the Chair of the Board of Directors, I extend a warm and heartfelt greeting to all who visit our website. Whether you’re a long-standing supporter, a new friend, or simply curious about our mission, I am genuinely delighted to have you here.

At CHANCES we are united by a shared dedication to making a lasting impact on the lives of children aged 0 to 11 and their families. Our unwavering commitment to fostering positive change within this critical developmental stage is at the heart of everything we do. 

As stewards of this organization, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of governance and ethical conduct. Our decisions are guided by a deep commitment to transparency, integrity, and the well-being of the precious young minds and families we serve.

We firmly believe that our impact reaches beyond the children themselves, extending to their families and the broader community. By providing valuable resources, education, and support to families, we aim to create a ripple effect of positive change that enhances the lives of all those connected to these young lives. 

Collaboration is central to our approach, and we welcome partnerships that share our values and aspirations. It is through the collective efforts of our team, partners, volunteers, and supporters that we are able to realize transformative results.

I invite you to explore our website, learn about our endeavors, and discover ways in which you can contribute to creating a brighter future for children aged 0 to 11 and their families. Your engagement, whether through volunteerism, advocacy, or support, plays a pivotal role in nurturing the potential of the next generation.

Together, we have the privilege to inspire change, uplift families, and leave an indelible legacy that echoes through the lives of children and their families for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Mary Beth Parsons
