We believe that everyone has a part to play. Because that’s how real change happens.
Everyday there are people and organizations around the county that are making a positive difference. They give time, money, donations. They have expertise, learned and lived. They start movements or respond to crisis. They create programs, they build systems. They each contribute something valuable.
Our perspective: Through collaborations, we can create solutions.
We believe this is the key to addressing longstanding challenges and pursuing extraordinary opportunities. Our role is to support the connections and coordination, to ensure the community is engaged and participating, and to fuel a system that harmonizes and mobilizes the county’s strengths and resources.
This work will change lives, build communities, and shape our future.
