What We Do

Helping every child succeed in school and in life, regardless of race, zip code, or circumstance.
Building Our Future (BOF) is Kenosha County's local education partnership and a proud member of the StriveTogether Network, a national initiative working to improve youth outcomes. We bring together leaders from every corner of our community - schools, businesses, nonprofits, and families - to ensure all students succeed from cradle to career. By connecting and strengthening existing programs, we create opportunities for every child to thrive and build a brighter future for our entire community. 

What We Do:
  • Building Networks: We bring people and organizations together through action networks that focus on key milestones in a child's educational journey, from early childhood to career readiness. 
  • Building Capacity: We provide coaching, training, and tools to help youth-serving organizations improve their impact using proven, data-driven methods. We also empower students by amplifying their voices and helping them become strong advocates for change.
