Become a Raising Highly Capable Kids Community Partner
Empowered Parents. Strong Families. Vibrant Communities.
At Georgia Center for Opportunity, we believe that strong families are the foundation of thriving communities. That’s why we partner with local organizations to bring Raising Highly Capable Kids (RHCK) into neighborhoods across Georgia. RHCK is an evidence-based, 10-session parenting program rooted in the 40 Developmental Assets—proven building blocks every child needs to grow into a confident, caring, and capable adult.
But RHCK is more than just a class—it’s a connection point. It brings parents together, strengthens community ties, and helps families build lasting foundations of trust, hope, and resilience.
Why Partner With GCO?
We believe vibrant communities are built from the inside out, not from the top down. And we believe in walking alongside communities to build solutions and resources that work.
At GCO, we bring decades of experience, a relational approach, and a deep commitment to your success. We equip. We encourage. We empower. Together, we create lasting change—one family, one community at a time.
How Does RHCK Partnership Work?
We don’t just deliver RHCK—we walk alongside you to implement it in a way that reflects your community’s unique strengths and needs. Whether you’re a school, church, nonprofit, or civic group, GCO equips you with what you need to succeed:
- Facilitator development and support
- Culturally relevant materials (available in English and Spanish)
- Promotional tools, grant guidance, and ongoing coaching.
Together, we build real, sustainable solutions that uplift families and restore connection.
What Does It Empower Community Leaders and Organizations to Achieve?
RHCK empowers local leaders and community organizations to do what they do best—engage their community. It opens doors to meaningful conversations, builds bridges across divides, and gives trusted institutions a powerful way to support the families they already serve. It’s not about taking over; it’s about equipping you to lead transformation from within.
