Building Our Future

Building Our Future is a local movement with a clear purpose: helping every child succeed in school and in life from cradle to career, regardless of race, ethnicity, zip code or circumstance. We refuse to settle for a world where a child’s potential is dictated by the conditions into which they are born. We work to break down barriers, change systems and improve educational outcomes for every child and young person in Kenosha County.  

The Building Our Future team is passionate, talented and dedicated to achieving our mission. We seek to value all kinds of diversity and work hard to eliminate inequities in ourselves, our partnership, and our communities. Our goals are bold, so we support each other to try new things, have courageous conversations and push for change. As we work, we share learning and progress, use data to make decisions and celebrate our wins.

Building Our Future is a part of StriveTogether, a national, non-profit network of community organizations that reaches more than 12.4 million students across the country. Nearly 70 StriveTogether communities are using a “cradle to career” collective impact model to improve graduation rates, increase kindergarten readiness, and close opportunity gaps in education.
