ABOUT
Alignment Rockford
Alignment Rockford is an organization that supports the improvement of academic and lifelong success for youth and students in Rockford by engaging partners across the community in programs and initiatives that respond to gaps and needs identified by Rockford Public School District 205.
Our Work
Our work supports students from the moment they are born until they enter college or start the career of their dreams. It’s truly a team effort, with partners from RPS 205, the business and nonprofit communities, neighborhoods, and grassroots initiatives all working together to design and launch programs that meet the biggest needs.
Early Childhood
School readiness paves the way for academic and lifelong success. Our littlest kids have big potential and we want to make sure they are ready to learn. Our focus on early childhood gets kids ready to start kindergarten strong.
Supporting Students
Learning happens at different paces. Discover resources and support to help every student stay on track and reach their potential.
Connecting Community
Alignment Rockford creates systemic change by connecting community resources around issues affecting students and families in the community.
Resources
Alignment Rockford supports students and families with resources and information to help in the educational journey. Find parenting advice, local family support services, homework help, and learning resources here.
Get Involved
A community relies on its public schools. Businesses need a strong school system to recruit talent and develop the next generation of leaders. Community leaders know that education drives economic development. Neighborhoods want great schools for their families. When we focus on our schools, we all win.
Alignment Rockford brings us all together to make a difference. Get involved with Alignment and make a big impact!

A Winning Start for Winnebago! 🎉
Yesterday we celebrated something powerful: the official launch of Winning Start Winnebago—a universal newborn support system designed to ensure every baby in our county gets a strong, healthy beginning. 💛
Winning Start Winnebago, with ...Winnebago County Health Department (Rockford, IL) will welcome every family of a newborn living in Winnebago County with a nurse home visit and other wraparound supports at no cost to the family.
This is what it looks like when a community asks first about its children. 💙 We’re building a future where every family feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

Imagine a community that asks first about its children.
Winning Start Winnebago was the shared community vision of organizations and individuals from across the community, including Winnebago County Health Department (Rockford, IL)), Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, RPS 205, ...YWCA Northwestern Illinois, Mathew Johnson, as well as providers and our health systems who helped inform the work greatly: Brightpoint Northern Region, Crusader Community Health, Easterseals Serving Chicagoland and Rockford, Mercyhealth Rockford Region, OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford, and UW Health SwedishAmerican
Supported by the Pritzker Family Foundation and the half-cent Winnebago County Community Mental Health tax, the year-long collaborative efforts that led to the development and launch of Winning Start Winnebago are a powerful example of what’s possible when we keep our vision centered on the child.
Thank you to Discovery Center Museum for hosting our launch!
