May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we are excited to invite you to support and participate in the Stride for Minds 3K on Saturday, May 30 at Petrifying Springs Park.

This event is being organized by students involved in Building Our Future’s Youth Voice Project, who have been working hard to bring this vision to life. After successfully leading the recent school board candidate forum, our students took the initiative to engage the Kenosha County Division of Behavioral Health Services as a partner around an issue they deeply care about: mental health awareness and community wellness.

The Stride for Minds 3K is an opportunity to bring our community together through movement, connection, and purpose while uplifting youth voice and leadership.

We would greatly appreciate your support by:
• Registering to participate
• Sharing the event with your networks
• Encouraging staff, families, and community members to attend

Event Details:
📅 Saturday, May 30
⏰ 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM
📍 Petrifying Springs Park – near Biergarten
💙 Free for all ages

Thank you for continuing to support opportunities that empower young people to lead and create positive change in our community.

Last month, we launched the upgraded Kenosha County Overview Data Dashboard and highlighted the opening page, “Who Lives in Kenosha?”
This month, we’re spotlighting the Kenosha’s Schools page.
This interactive page features key metrics from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s 2025 school report cards. Users can filter by school to explore student demographics and outcomes that contribute to accountability ratings.
Why it matters: Understanding school data—alongside the broader community context—helps partners identify trends, ask deeper questions, and better align strategies to support student success.

Looking for deeper cradle-to-career outcomes data? Additional dashboards are available on the Building Our Future website.

It’s been a strong start to the year, and we’re excited to share a first look at our 2025 Annual Impact Report.

This report captures the work happening across our community to expand opportunity and drive results for children, youth, and families, from early learning through postsecondary pathways.

We’ll be heading to print this week, and over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting stories, partnerships, and progress from the report.
