There Is An Opportunity To Do Better
The COVID-19 crisis and increasing community-level outcomes, collective work must focus on disrupting systems and shifting power to those most impacted.
In order to improve community-level outcomes, collective work must focus on transforming systems. We cannot transform systems without addressing the racial inequities that exist at a systemic level.

A Broadened Focus
The network’s focus has always aligned to supporting economic vitality and prosperity for the community, specifically through Cradle to Career Outcomes impacting young people’s trajectory for entering the workforce with the skills needed to earn sufficient wages to support themselves and their families.
The Cradle to Career Outcomes continue to be vital, however, they are only some of what paints a holistic picture of community well-being.
