Launching Every Child as a Healthy Lifelong Learner
Incorporated in 1993, the Down East Partnership for Children was established when a group of citizens and leaders from Nash and Edgecombe counties came together to address the needs of children and families in our communities.

Our Mission
To launch every child as a healthy, lifelong learner by the end of the third grade.
Our Vision
We believe that all children and their families can reach their full potential when surrounded by a united and supportive community.
To achieve this vision, DEPC strategically invests approximately $7 million yearly into the education system that supports children 0-8 and their families. This investment supports programs at DEPC and in partnering agencies throughout Nash and Edgecombe counties.
