Community-Driven

Our community drives this work forward. From across the county, hundreds of people have come together to align around common goals and shared action. This is the work of community leaders, educators, businesses, nonprofits, and faith groups — who take the time to meet, gather data, share their insights and move to action.

A team of “backbone staff” works full time to support this community initiative. Staff work to convene, connect and coach partners through a structured collaborative improvement process, harnessing the power of data and community perspectives to achieve big goals.

Working together in a common direction leverages the power of collective impact. It’s a critical part of achieving our community’s shared goal: strengthening pathways for every child to thrive in Alamance County.
