The Community Network Council (CNC) is a community‑based organization dedicated to improving educational outcomes for young people in Kent. We focus on connecting students with the academic, social, and developmental resources they need to succeed in school and beyond.

Our mission is to strengthen trust, safety, cooperation, and positive parenting so that children can learn and grow in supportive environments. CNC advances this mission by offering programs that bring families, educators, and community members together to identify barriers to student success and to create pathways that help every child thrive academically.
