Vision

To be a model community that builds partnerships through awareness, trust and relationships to support the success of children and families.

Community Engagement is our Backbone

An ongoing focus of Building Our Future is engaging our partners work.  In 2018, we launched a project focusing on better understanding specific neighborhoods and localities within the county.  The goal is to gather better data about the area including basic demographics, different issues facing the residents assets, and potential partners to work with.  The program will be piloted in two neighborhoods in the city of Kenosha: Lincoln Park and Wilson.

Why Community Engagement as an Outcome?

From the onset of Building Our Future, the Kenosha County community considered it critically important to focus on engaging the people from a variety of sectors.

In 2018, we will focus on smaller areas in the county.  Here is how:

Potential Core Indicators
