First 5 Napa Network
First 5 Napa Network (F5NN)
Developed in 2019 the First 5 Napa Network (F5NN) brought together a cross sector network of community members to learn about the needs of and challenges facing Napa County’s children, families, and providers. The network used a systems-level, human-centered design approach to increase collective capacity, integrate systems, and identify and implement creative solutions to the challenges that continue to face Napa County’s children. The First 5 Napa Commission remains strongly committed to addressing the needs of young children, families, and providers using a lens of equity, respect, and social inclusion.
