Our Block: Harnessing the Power of Community
TNTP’s Our Block is a first-of-its-kind asset mapping platform that provides educators and school support staff dynamic tools to share trusted community resources with families, from food pantries and health clinics to mental wellness programs and job training centers.
Introducing Our Block
Imagine what your system could achieve if…
Families Know Just Where to Turn for Help
No family should go without a resource simply because they don't know it exists. Our Block equips families with up-to-date resource information, including where to find food, clothing, afterschool care, youth sports and clubs, tutoring, immigration, and more.
Young People Are Connected with Supports
Every child is different, with unique interests and needs. Our Block can be used to find and connect kids with trusted and vetted supports that are tailored to their whole person.
Educators and Staff Share With Each Other
Our Block provides educators, guidance counselors and social workers a single platform to efficiently pool their knowledge of community resources and share them with each other - and of course with families, too.
TNTP’s Our Block
Our Block maps community resources big and small so that they’re accessible to those who need them most.
