Social Capital as our Asset

Every Child Should Smile leverages strong social capital through trusted relationships with:

Local schools and community centers in Memphis

Volunteers and mentors from the hospitality industry

Public figures and elected officials

Community health agencies that provide on-site services

These relationships provide access to resources, legitimacy, and a constant flow of youth referrals, which are essential for delivering consistent programming. This relational capital allows us to grow organically while keeping overhead costs low.
