The St. Louis Neighborhood Network is committed to "building safe children, healthy families and strong communities." The Neighborhood Network is a partnership of parents, neighborhoods, schools, churches, businesses, social service providers, Children's Division (formerly Division of Family Services, and block clubs.

The Neighborhood Network serves four zip codes in south and north St. Louis: 63104, 63107, 63115,and 63118. Neighborhood "hubs" located throughout this area are places where people come together. Parents and community members can work with local schools and neighborhood associations, building relationships that support families and ultimately, reduce child abuse and neglect.

In addition, a broader strategy is in place to target three populations of children: prenatal through five years old; kindergarten through fifth grade, and those experiencing chronic neglect. Community residents and service providers work together to develop new tools to help support families at risk of child abuse or neglect.

The St. Louis Neighborhood Network is one of four sites in the nation funded by a grant from The Center for Community Partnerships in Child Welfare. These sites are each working to design a community based network for supporting families and protecting children... "because protecting our children is everybody’s business."
