 BOF is actively seeking applicants for the fourth iteration of our Continuous Improvement Cohort! This eight-session program will guide small teams through the principles of the Results Count framework, while also introducing tools from our StriveTogether network partners. The cohort provides organizations with an opportunity to step out of their day-to-day work, analyze and understand their data, identify areas of improvement, and employ strategies to enhance results for those they serve. To get insights from past cohort participants, check out Episode 26 of our podcast,

Building Our Future is thrilled to announce our active engagement in the Equitable Enrollment Collaborative, in partnership with University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Gateway Technical College, Carthage College, Kenosha Unified School District, Racine Unified Schools, and Higher Expectations for Racine County! Together, we're working to remove barriers to college access for regional high school graduates.
What's in the pipeline? We're diving deep into FAFSA completion data, providing monthly updates to local high schools on their 12th-grade class's progress. Our goal? Each participating high school aims to boost their FAFSA completion rate by 5 percentage points from last year, fostering incremental growth over five years. Curious about our journey so far? Peek behind the scenes with our video update! The milestone? We've inked an unprecedented Data Sharing Agreement among all institutions, a testament to our extraordinary collaborative effort. Plus, we rocked a successful FAFSA Summit at UW-Parkside in October, uniting high school reps from KUSD and RUSD! Join us on this transformative mission as we pave smoother pathways for our students into higher education. Together, we're shaping a brighter future for all!  At Building Our Future, our mission is to inspire data-driven decision-making and action. In our latest podcast episode, we engage in a meaningful conversation with the Kenosha Fire Department, shedding light on their efforts to foster a more inclusive workforce. BOF is happy to be a strategic partner, working alongside the Kenosha Fire Department’s Diversity & Recruitment Committee. This case serves as a compelling example, showcasing that, while there is no one-size-fits-all approach, the power of collaboration and alignment can significantly enhance outcomes.
