Building Our Future is a network of community leaders representing all sectors of Kenosha County committed to improving student outcomes.
Our partnership unites existing programs, organizations and community resources to reach our shared goals.
?Data allows us to measure our impact, continuously evaluate and improve our process, while shining a light on our successes and bright spots!
In partnership with StriveTogether, a model in more than 70 communities nationwide, we seek better educational opportunities for students from cradle to career by uniting partners from every sector - community members, education, non-profit, business, faith, government and philanthropy - toward a singular vision and common action. Using data, our networks provide targeted strategies, implement continuous improvement and hold each other accountable. By agreeing on a shared goal, we align partners to move each outcome area, shown below. Currently, we are in what StriveTogether calls the Sustaining Gateway, part of a recognized theory of action to build and sustain a civic infrastructure necessary to improve outcomes.
Building Our Future also partners with The Wisconsin Partnership which is a collaborative effort formed to identify and advocate for state policies that will enable each community to move further, faster toward its early learning goals. This is a real opportunity to move the needle overall, and especially for underserved populations. The Wisconsin Partnership communities collectively serve 25 percent of Wisconsinites age 0 to 8, and 70 percent of low-income Black and Latinx Wisconsinites in that age range.
